NOTE  TO  THE  REVISED  EDITION  OF  1889. 


I  HAVE  found  Gradatim  to  be  a  most  useful  book  to 
accompany  and  supplement  the  first  year's  work  in  Latin. 
The  Latin  is  pure,  simple,  and  idiomatic,  easily  under- 
stood by  the  young  learners,  interesting,  and  even  amus- 
ing. If  Caesar  must  be  read  as  the  first  classical  author, 
this  book  may  be  very  happily  used  for  some  weeks  to 
smooth  the  way,  by  giving  practice  in  translating  easy 
Latin.  The  enormous  sale  of  the  book  in  England  shows 
how  helpful  it  has  proved  to  teachers  in  Latin  there. 
The  work  of  revision  has  consisted  mainly  in  rewriting 
the  first  twenty  anecdotes,  —  in  which  the  authors  made 
the  unhappy  experiment  of  writing  the  Latin  in  English 
order,  —  marking  the  quantity  of  long  vowels  everywhere, 
and  correcting  the  vocabulary,  which  was  unusually  rich 

in  mistakes.

THE  above  note  shows  at  what  point  this  second  revi- 
sion has  been  taken  up.     It  was  my  purpose  to  do  little 


iv  NOTE    TO  REVISED   EDITION. 

more  than  correct  errors  that  had  been  overlooked  in  pre- 
vious impressions,  and  make  certain  omissions ;  but  pro- 
longed examination  suggested  other  changes,  together 
with  additions  so  various  and  important  that  it  has 
seemed  necessary  to  modify  the  title  in  order  to  distin- 
guish this  edition  from  the  book  in  its  earlier  form. 

Thirty-four  anecdotes  have  been  omitted.  Some  of 
these  seemed  rather  pointless,  others  a  little  questionable 
in  tone  or  taste. 

By  permission  of  the  author  of  Fabulae  Faciles,  Mr.  F. 
Ritchie,  the  Story  of  the  Argonauts  and  the  Story  of  Ulys- 
ses, amounting  to  nearly  thirty  pages,  have  been  added. 

Some  important  principles  of  grammar  have  been 
added,  emphasized,  or  expanded. 

Notes  explaining  such  difficulties  as  it  has  been  found 
embarrass  and  delay  young  pupils  are  given  at  the  end 
of  the  reading  lessons. 

Finally,  immediately  following  each  anecdote,  from  two 
to  ten  of  the  words  that  occur  in  the  text  are  set  down, 
chosen  out  as  likely  to  be  the  least  familiar  to  the  learner, 
and  either  defined  by  more  familiar  Latin  words,  or  having 
references  to  places  where  they  have  occurred  in  preced- 
ing anecdotes.  It  is  most  important  to  encourage  stu- 
dents in  every  way  to  form  the  habit,  when  they  meet 
with  what  seems  a  new  word,  or  a  familiar  word  in  a  new 
sense,  of  trying  to  recall  its  previous  occurrence,  instead 
of  turning  at  once  to  the  vocabulary,  or  to  a  lexicon. 


NOTE    TO  REVISED  EDITION.  V 

The  need  of  putting  some  easy  Latin  into  the  hands  of 
pupils  very,  early  in  their  study,  to  accompany  and  sup- 
plement the  learning  of  forms  and  the  elements  of  syntax, 
is  now  happily  coming  to  be  realized,  and  it  is  hoped 
that  The  New  Gradatim  will  be  found  to  supply  exactly 
that  want. 

The  Stories  of  the  Argonauts  and  of  Ulysses,  abound- 
ing as  they  do  in  the  words,  idioms,  and  constructions 
of  Caesar's  Gallic  War,  ought  to  make  it  easy  for  the 
pupil  to  pass  from  them  to  The  Gate  to  Ccesar ;  but  it 
will  generally  be  better  to  interpose  not  a  little  easy  and 
rapid  reading  for  the  sake  of  an  enlarged  vocabulary.

PRONUNCIATION. 

1.  Vowels. 

a  like  last  a  in  aha'.  i    like    i   in  pin. 

a     "  first  a  in  aha'.  5     "      o  in  holy. 

e     "  e  in  //;<y.  o     "      0  in  wholly! 

e     "  ^  in  w<V.  u     "  oo  in 

i      "  /   in  machine.  ii2  "  <w  in 


2.  Diphthongs. 

ae  like  «/'  in  a  />/*?.  oe  like  <?/'  in  boil. 

au     "  (;;^  in  our.  eu  "  ^«  in  fond. 

ei      "  «'  in  eight.  ui  "  w<?. 

3.  Consonants. 

Consonants  generally  have  the  same  sounds  as  in  English. 
But  observe  the  following  :  — 

c  like  c  in  come.  B  like  s  in  sun* 

g     "    g  in  get.  t     "  /  in 

i3    "    _y  in  j£/.  v     "  iv  in 

ch  like  k  in  /h'/£. 

1  That  is,  as  the  word  is  com-  nounced  like  w,  and  joined  in  ut- 
monly  pronounced  ;    the   sound  terance  with  the  preceding  letter. 
heard  in  holy,  shortened.  3  I-consonant,  that  is,  before  a 

2  In  qu,  and  also  commonly  in  vowel  in  the  same  syllable. 
git  and  su  before  a  vowel,  u  is  a  4  Never  like  z. 
semi-vowel  or  consonant,  is  pro-  5  Never  like  sh. 


2  DECLENSION. 

DECLENSION. 

4.   Nouns  are  the  Names  of  Things. 
In  English  we  say,  — 

The  wasp  killed  the  bee. 
The  bee  killed  the  wasp. 

In  these  sentences  the  words  "wasp"  and  "bee" 
are  unchanged;  though  in  one  the  "wasp"  does 
the  action,  and  the  "bee"  suffers  the  action.  In 
the  other  the  opposite  is  true.  The  order  only  has 
been  altered. 

In  Latin  this  difference  is  expressed,  not  by  alter- 
ing the  order,  but  by  changes  in  the  form  of  the 
word  called  case-endings. 

NOMINATIVE,     vespa,  apis,  when  the  wasp  or  the  bee 

does  the  action. 
ACCUSATIVE,     vespam,  apem,  when  the  wasp  or  the 

bee  suffers  the  action. 

Vespa  apem  necavit.       The  wasp  killed  the  bee. 
Vespam  apis  necavit.       The  bee  killed  the  ivasp. 

Pronouns  are  the  only  words  in  English  which  have 
different  forms  for  nominative  and  accusative. 

NOM.     I ;  who. 
Ace.      me ;  whom. 


CONJUGA  TJON.  3 

5.  Besides  the  nominative  and  accusative,  Latin 
has  three  other  cases, 

Genitive,  Dative,  Ablative, 

the  meaning  of  which  is  expressed  in  English  by 
prepositions,  of,  to,  by,  etc. 

GENITIVE,     hastanun,  of  spears. 
DATIVE.        hastae,  to  a  spear. 
ABLATIVE,    hasta,  with  a  spear. 

6.  There  are   thus    in    Latin   five    cases   in   the 
singular,   each  with  its  own  ending,  and  the  same 
number  in  the  plural. 

To  give  these  changes  in  the  form  of  a  noun  is 
called  declining  a  noun. 

There  are  also  two  other  cases,  the  vocative  and  the 
locative.  The  vocative  is  used  of  the  person  addressed, 
but  it  has  always  the  same  form  as  the  nominative,  except 
in  nouns  in  -us  of  the  second  declension.  The  locative 
is  almost  confined  to  names  of  towns,  and  expresses  the 
idea  of  at,  />/,  on. 

CONJUGATION. 

7.  Verbs  express  actions. 

Actions  are  done  by  different  persons  :  we  express 
this  difference  in  English  by  placing  pronouns  before 
the  verb,  sometimes  (but  not  often)  altering  its  form 

also. 

/  love,  you  love,  he  (or  she')  loves. 


4  CONJUGA  TION. 

In  Latin  there  is  a  special  form  for  each  person, 
both  in  the  singular  and  the  plural,  therefore  the 
pronoun  need  not  be  used. 

amo,  /  love ;  amis,  you  love  j  amat,  he  loves. 

All  nouns  are  of  the  third  person  ;  if,  therefore,  a  noun 
is  used,  the  verb  will  be  in  the  third  person. 

avis  cantant,  birds  sing. 

8.  Actions  differ  also  in  the  time  in  which  they 
are  done  ;  they  may  be  present,  past,  or  future.  In 
English,  to  express  this  difference,  we  use  other 
verbs,  called  auxiliary  or  helping  verbs,  though  there 
is  also  a  special  form  ior  past  time. 

PRESENT.     /  love,  am  loving,  or  do  love. 

PAST.  /  was  loving,  used  to  love,  did  love,  loved. 

FUTURE.      I  shall  love. 

In  Latin  there  are  special  tense-forms  to  express 
these  differences  of  time. 

PRESENT,     amo,  /  love,  am  loving,  or  do  love. 
PAST.  amabam,  /  was  loving,  used  to  love,  did 

love,  loved. 
FUTURE.      amabo,  /  shall  love. 

To  give  these  special  tense-forms  is  called  conju- 
gating a  verb. 

In  Latin  the  present  is  often  used  of  a  past  act, 
as  in  English,  for  the  sake  of  greater  vividness. 
See  examples  in  the  first  and  second  anecdotes. 


SUBJECT  AND  PREDICA  TE.  5 

SUBJECT    AND    PREDICATE. 

9.    Sentences   are  divided   into  subject  and  pred- 
icate. 

The  subject  is  the  person  or  thing  talked  about. 
The  predicate  is  what  is  said  about  the  subject. 

The  subject  may  be  — 

Simple:  One  noun. 

Birds  sing. 

Qualified:  Noun  with  words  added  to  it  to  tell  you 
something  more  about  the  subject. 

Small  birds  sing. 

Composite :  Two  or  more  nouns. 

Blackbirds  and  thrushes  sing. 

The  predicate  may  be  — 

One  verb. 

Birds  sing. 

Verb  with  qualifying  word  or  words. 
Birds  sing  sweetly. 

Verb  with  governed  word  or  words. 
Birds  sing  sweet  songs. 

In  Latin  the  subject  and  predicate  may  both  be 
contained  in  a  single  word. 

cantamus,  we  sing. 


6  INTRANSITIVE    VERBS. 

10.  Special  attention  must  be  paid  in  Latin  to 
certain  RULES,  which  are  not  so  necessary  in  English. 

RULE  i.  —  The  verb  must  be  of  the  same  person 
and  number  as  its  nominative. 

corvi  cantant,  ravens  croak. 

corvi  canto  would   mean,   ravens  I  croak,  which  would 
be  nonsense. 

SUBJECT  AND  PREDICATE  IN  ONE  WORD. 

1.  ridemus,  we  laugh. 

2.  ambulabatis,  you  were  walking. 

3.  maiiebimus,  we  shall  remain. 

4.  videbis,  you  will  see. 

5.  dabant,  they  were  giving. 

6.  erinius,  we  shall  be. 

7.  tenetLs,  you  hold. 

8.  vulnerabitis,  you  will  wound. 

SUBJECT  DISTINCT  FROM  PREDICATE. 
SUBJECT.  PREDICATE. 

1.  pueri  manebant,  boys  were  remaining. 

2.  serv!  ridebunt,  slaves  will  laugh. 

3.  ego  et  nuntius         manebimus,  the  messenger  and  I  shall 

remain. 

4.  tu  et  puella  cantabitis,  you  and  the  girl  will  sing. 

5.  taurus  apparet,  a  bull  appears. 

INTRANSITIVE    VERBS. 

11.  When  an  action  affects  only  the  doer  the  verb 
is   called   intransitive,   because   its   action  does  not 
pass  across  from  the  doer  to  anything  else. 

maneo,  /  remain. 


TRANSITIVE    VERBS.  7 

TRANSITIVE    VERBS. 

But  when  an  action  affects  some  person  or  thing 
besides  the  doer  the  verb  is  called  transitive,  because 
the  action  passes  across  from  the  doer  to  the  other 
person  or  thing,  and  this  latter  is  put  into  the 
accusative  case. 

RULE  2.  —  When  used  transitively,  verbs  govern 
the  accusative  case. 

1 .  periculum  videbitis,  you  will  see  danger. 

2.  timemus  lupum,  we  fear  the  -wolf. 

3.  arnicos  advocamus,  we  call  to  friends. 

4.  intro  aquam,  /  enter  the  water. 

SUBJECT.  PREDICATE. 

1 .  puer  taurum  vulnerabit,  the  boy  will  wound  the  bull. 

2.  taurus  vulnerat  puerum,  the  bull  wounds  the  boy. 

3.  magister  puellam  docebit,  the  master  will  teach  the  girl. 
\.  fossae  agios  terminant,  ditches  bound  the  fields. 

12.  Care  must  be  taken  not  to  confuse  the  accusa- 
tive case  with  the  dative.  These  are  easily  confused 
in  English,  since  the  preposition  to,  which  is  the 
sign  of  the  dative,  is  frequently  left  out. 

RULE  3.  — -  The  dative  is  the  case  of  the  recipient, 
or  the  person  (or  thing)  who  is  interested  in  an 
action  but  does  not  actually  suffer  it. 

I  give  sugar  to  the  wasp. 
I  give  the  wasp  sugar. 


8  ADJECTIVES. 

What  I  give  is  sugar ;  the  wasp  receives  it,  and  is 
interested  in  what  I  do. 

SUBJECT.  PREDICATE. 

1.  magister  fabulam  pueris  narrat,  the  master  tells  a 

story  to  the  boys. 

2.  agricola  dabit  poma  amicis,  tJie  farmer  will  give 

apples  to  his  friends. 

3.  advena  puellae  cibum  praebet,  the  stranger  fur- 

nishes the  girl  food. 

4.  furtum  domino  apparet,  the-  theft  is  apparent  to 

the  master. 

5.  praefectus          oppid5   praeerat,    the   governor    was    in 

charge  of  the  town. 


ADJECTIVES. 

13.  An  adjective  is  a  word  added  to  a  noun  to 
distinguish  it  from  others  like  it. 

In  English,  adjectives  have  only  one  form. 

In  Latin,  many  adjectives  have  three  terminations 
in  each  case,  one  for  each  of  the  three  genders,  — 
masculine,  feminine,  and  neuter. 

Possessive  adjectives  agree  in  Latin  with  the  thing 
possessed,  and  are  not  affected  as  in  English  by  the  gender 
of  the  possessor. 

taurus  vulneravit  suam  dominam,   the  bull  wounded 
his  mistress. 


ADJECTIVES. 


RULE  4. —  An  adjective  must  be  put  in  the 
same  gender,  number,  and  case  as  the  noun  with 
which  it  is  used. 

saevus  oculus,  savage  eye. 

clara  aqua,  clear  water. 

vir  est  bonus,  the  man  is  good. 

In  English  the  gender  of  a  word  is  always  settled  by 
the  meaning,  but  in  Latin  there  is  more  difficulty,  for  it  is 
settled  generally,  not  by  the  meaning,  but  by  the  form  of 

a  word. 

eye  is  neuter  in  English. 

oculus  is  masculine  in  Latin. 


SUBJECT. 

1 .  templa 

2.  agricolae 

3.  servus 

SUBJECT. 

1 .  multae  puellae 

2.  niger  servus 

3.  maesti  agricolae 


PREDICATE. 

Copula.  Complement. 

sunt        sacra,  temples  are  sacred. 
erant      probi,  farmers  were  honest. 
est  piger,  the  servant  is  lazy. 

PREDICATE. 

canoram  fistulam  amant,  many  girls 
love  a  melodious  fife. 

timebat  cornigenim  taurum,  the  black 
slave  feared  the  horned  bull. 

saevum  bellum  timebunt,  the  sad 
farmers  will  fear  cruel  war. 

14.  The  genitive  case  of  a  noun  can  often  be  used 
instead  of  an  adjective. 

(  patemi  horti. 
My  fathers  gardens  \ 

(  patris  hortL 


10  APPOSITION. 

SUBJECT.  PREDICATE. 

1.  nuntius  deorum       adest,    the   messenger  of  the  gods   is

2.  ripae  rivi  sunt  altae,  the  banks  of  the  river  are

RULE  5.  —  A  noun  used  to  limit  or  define  another, 
and  not  meaning  the  same  person  or  thing,  is  put  in 
the  genitive. 

APPOSITION. 

15.  RULE  6. — When  a  descriptive  noun  is  joined 
to  another,  meaning  the  same  person  or  thing,  it  is 
called  an  appositive.  An  appositive  agrees  in  case 
with  the  noun  which  it  limits. 

1.  verberabo    Caium,    malum   puerum,  /  shall  beat   Caius, 

a  bad  boy.

ORDER.  11 

16.  The  ablative  case   generally  qualifies  a  verb 
like  an  adverb,   and   answers  the  questions,    how  ? 
why  ?  when  ?  where  ? 

He  slew  him,   -with  a  sword,  from   hatred,  at  night, 
in  the  street. 

OBS.  i. —  The  conjunction  -que,  and,  cannot  stand  by 
itself,  but  is  joined  to  the  end  of  the  word  to  which  it 

belongs. 

pueri  puellaeque.         pueri  et  puellae 

OBS.  2. —  Latin  has  no  article  ;  therefore  in  translating 
a  noun  think  whether  you  ought  to  put  in  a  or  the  before 
it  or  not. 

OBS.  3.  —  The  possessive  pronouns  my,  his,  their,  etc., 
are  often  left  out  in  Latin. 

servi  videbant  dominum,  the  slaves  saw  their  master. 

ORDER. 

17.  English,  having  so  few  case-endings,  is  tied 
down  to  a  particular  order  of  words. 

The  man  swallowed  the  fish 

is  different  from 
The  fish  swallowed  the  man. 

Latin  has  much  more  freedom. 

homo  devoravit  piscem, 
piscem  homo  devoravit, 
piscem  devoravit  homo, 
devoravit  piscem  homo, 

all  mean,  "The  man  swallowed  the  fish." 


12  ANECDOTES. 

While  - 

piscis  devoravit  hominem, 
hominem  piscis  devoravit,  etc., 

all  mean,  "The  fish  swallowed  the  man." 

Thus  the  beginner  must  not  be  surprised  to 
find- 

(1)  The  accusative  before  the  verb  ; 

(2)  The  nominative  after  the  verb ; 

(3)  The  adjective  after  its  noun. 

RULE  7.  —  In  making  out  the  meaning,  it  is 
often  best  to  take  the  words  in  the  order  in  which 
they  come  ;  but  if  this  does  not  give  the  sense,  look 
first  for  the  verb  ;  it  always  points  to,  if  it  does  not 
include,  the  nominative. 


ANECDOTES  FOR  TRANSLATION. 

The  figures  under  the  Anecdotes  refer  to  the  Anecdotes  by  number  and  line. 
These  references  are  designed  to  remind  the  learner  of  the  previous  occurrence  of 
the  same  word,  or  of  a  word  of  the  same  family.  If  he  has  forgotten  the  meaning, 
he  should  look  back,  instead  of  referring  again  to  the  vocabulary.  If  the  former 
meaning  does  not  seem  appropriate,  the  vocabulary  should  be  consulted  and  the 
meanings  in  the  two  sentences  be  compared.  It  will  be  apparent  that  only  a  few 
of  the  words  that  are  repeated  have  been  selected  for  comparison. 

Latin  words  are  occasionally  denned  by  other  Latin  words,  supposed  to  be  more 
familiar  to  the  learner,  mainly  for  the  purpose  of  giving  him  increased  readiness  in 
reading  and  writing  Latin,  but  the  words  denned  and  the  definitions  are  no  more 
exact  synonyms  than  in  similar  cases  in  English. 

The  abbreviation  cf.  stands  for  confer,  i.e.,  compare.

hanc  suo  ore  etiam  ab  ulteriore  margine  lacus  ad  pedes 
eius  reportabat.  Ea  quidem  res  erat  gratior  can!  et 
domino  quam  anati ;  haec  igitur  pennis  pedibusque  canis 
impetum  semper  fugiebat.  Tandem  Rollo  tali  pervicacia 
defessus  solum  in  horto  effodit  anatemque  vivam  sepelivit,

THE    RELATIVE. 

24.  (a)  The  Relative  is  used  to  avoid  repeating  a 
word  (called  its  antecedent)  already  used  once. 

video  munim,  quern  Balbus  aediticavit,  /  see  the  -wall,  which 
Balbus  built. 


40  THE  RELATIVE. 

If  there  were  no  relative,  we  should  have  to  say, 
video  murum  et  Balbus  eum  murum  aedificavit,  /  see  the 

wall  and  Balbus  built  that  wall. 

Thus  it  has  also  the  force  of  a  conjunction  and  serves 
to  connect  sentences. 

RULE  9. — The  Relative  agrees  with  its  antecedent 
in  gender,  number,  and  person. 

1.  nos,  qui  fortes  sumus,  pugnabimus,  we,  who  are  brave, 

will  fight. 

2.  tu,  quae  parva  es  puella,  nutricem  amas,  you,  who  are 

a  little  girl,  love  the  nurse. 

RULE  10.  —  The  Relative  is  not  necessarily  in  the 
same  case  as  its  antecedent,  but  in  the  case  which 
its  antecedent  would  be  in  if  repeated. 

1.  babes  asinum  qui  (asinus)  est  Iab5ris  patiens,  you  have 

an  ass  which  is  patient  of  labor. 

2.  equus  quern  (equum)  habemus  est  celer,  the  horse  which 

we  have  is  fast. 

3.  virum    cuius  (virl)  filius   es   amamus,  we  love  the  man 

whose  son  you  are. 

4.  hie  est  puer  cui  (puero)  poma  dedimus,  this  is  the  boy  to 

whom  we  gave  the  apples. 

5.  hasta  qua  (hasta)  hostem  occidisti  erat  acris,  the  spear 

with  which  you  killed  the  enemy  was  sharp. 

(&)  A  sentence  containing  a  relative  word  is  often 
called  an  adjectival  clause,  because  it  qualifies  a 
substantive  like  an  adjective. 

est  uiihi  mensa  quae  est  nigra,  /  have  a  black  table. 


ACTIVE  AND   PASSIVE.  41 

A  relative  clause  may  be  omitted  without  altering  the 
construction  of  any  other  word  in  the  sentence. 

(c]  A  relative  word  is  often  omitted  in  English 
but  never  in  Latin. 

ubi  est  ea  mensa  quam  heri  vidi  ?  where  is  the  table  I  saw 
yesterday  ? 

(d]  The  relative  always   comes   first   in   its   own 
clause    (except    after    prepositions),    and   generally 
next  to  the  word  it  qualifies. 

Relative  words  are  — 

qui,  quails,  quantus, 
quo,  qua,  unde,  ubi. 

ACTIVE   AND    PASSIVE. 

25.    The  Verb  has  two  voices  — 

(1)  Active,  when  you  do  something; 

(2)  Passive,  when  something  is  done  to  you. 

In    turning   a   sentence    from    an   active   into   a 
passive  form 

accusative  becomes  nominative, 
nominative  becomes  ablative. 

All  other  cases  remain  unchanged. 

fanseres   Manlium  e  somno    excitaverunt,  geese   woke 

Manlius  from  sleep. 

Manlius    e   somno    anseiibus    excitatus   est,    Manlius 
was  wakened  from  sleep  by  geese. 


42  ACTIVE  AND  PASSIVE. 

<  puer  necabit  lupum,  the  boy  will  kill  a  wolf. 

\  lupus  necabitur  a  puero,  a  -wolf  'will  be  killed  by  a  boy. 

fcives  mHitibus  cibum  dabunt,  citizens  will  give  soldiers 

food. 

3-    \ 

cibus  mHitibus  a  civibus  dabitur,  food  will  be  given  to 

soldiers  by  citizens. 

Caesar  civitati  ducentos  imperat  ob sides,  Ccesai 
makes  a  demand  upon  the  state  for  tivo  hundred 
I  hostages. 

ducenti  obsides  civitati  imperantur  a  Caesare,  two 
hundred  hostages  are  demanded  of  the  state  by 
Ccesar. 

(1)  If  the  doer  of  the  act  is  a  person,  the  preposition  a 
or  ab  is  used  with  the  ablative.     It  is  then  called  the 
Ablative  of  the  Agent. 

(2)  Transitive  verbs  become  intransitive  in  the  passive. 

1.  centaurus  sagitta  ab  Hercule  volneratus  est,  the  Centaur 

was  wounded  with  an  arrow  by  Hercules. 

2.  Hercules  sagittas  venen5  tinxit,  Hercules  stained  arrows 

with  poison. 

3.  via    montibus    altissimis    continebatur,    t/ie    road    -was 

hemmed  in   by  very  high    mountains. 

4.  praemium  vlct5ri  debetur,  a  reward  is  due  to  the  victor. 

5.  numquam  mihi  hoc  persuadebitur,  never  'shall  I  be  per-

Tres  olim  viatores  a  Gallia  ad  Italiam  iter  faciebant. 
Via  erat  et  longa  et  difficillima,  quod  undique  montibus 
altissimis  continebatur.  Saepe  magnam  cibi  inopiam 
viatores  tolerabant ;  tandem  nihil  illis  supererat  nisi  unus 
panis,  baud  ita  grandis,  quern  omnes  diligentissime 
servabant.  Hunc  sibi  quisque  vindicat.  Denique  fessi 
somno  se  dant  panemque  proponunt  somnl  insignissimi 
praemium.  Mane  suum  quisque  comitibus  somnium 
narrat.  Primus  ex  viatoribus  sic  incipit :  "  Mihi  in 
somnio  apparebat  rapum  ingentissimum ;  vix  id  trecenti 
viri  ex  agro  trahebant.  Num  vos  aliquid  hoc  mirabilius

In  ea  parte  Britanniae  quae  ad  septentriunes  spectat

48  PLACE. 

26.  A  dative  is  naturally  used   to   complete  the 
sense  after  such  adjectives  as  — 

amicus,  utilis,   similis, 
propinquus,  finitimus,  par. 

"GUI"    VERBS. 

27.  A  few  verbs,  which  we  should  expect  to  govern 
an  accusative,  for  some  reason  or  other  prefer  the 
dative.     The  most  common  are  — 

parco,  pareo,  placeo, 
faveo,  noceo,  serviS, 
invideo,  nubo,  ignosco, 
maledico,  indulgeo. 

magister,  cul  paremus,  benignus  est,  the  master  -whom  we 

obey  is  kind. 
parcit  mihi,  he  spares  me. 

These  verbs  are  called  "cul"  verbs  from  the  dative  of 
the  relative  pronoun,  with  which  they  are  sometimes  used. 

RULE  ii.  —  Many  verbs  compounded  with  ad, 
ante,  con,  in,  inter,  ob,  post,  prae,  pro,  sub,  and  super, 
take  the  dative. 

PLACE. 

28.  (i)  Place  where  is  expressed  by  the  ablative 
with  the  preposition  in. 

Exception.  Names  of  towns  use  an  old  case 
called  the  Locative. 


PLACE.  49 

The  locative  in  the  singular  of  declensions  I.  and 
II.  is  the  same  form  as  the  genitive,  elsewhere 
commonly  the  ablative. 

These  locatives  are  also  found, 

domi,  at.  home, 
ruri,  in  the  country, 
humi,  on  tiie  ground. 

(2)  Place  whither  is  expressed  by  the  accusative 
with  ad  or  in. 

Exception.  Names  of  towns  (also  donms  and  rus] 
omit  the  preposition. 

"To,"  when  it  means  towards,  is  never  the  sign  of  the 
dative,  but  always  of  the  accusative. 

(3)  Place  zvhence  is  expressed  by  the  ablative  with 
ab  or  ex. 

Exception.  Names  of  towns  (also  domus  and  rils) 
omit  the  preposition. 

The  name  of  a  small  island  is  treated  as  if  it  were  a 
town. 

1.  naves    Tarenti    aedin'catae    sunt,    ships   were    built    at 

Tarentum. 

2.  Pericles  Athenis  habitabat,  Pericles  lived  at  Athens. 

3.  exercitus  in  Hispaniam  missus   est,  an   army  was   sent 

to  Spain. 

4.  postero  die  Corinthum  pervenit,  on  the  next  day  he  came

56  INFINITIVE. 

VERB. 

29.  Every  Verb  has  two  parts  — 

(1)  Finite,  limited  by  person.

amis,  you  love. 
amat,  he  loves. 

(2)  Non-finite,  not  limited  by  person.

C  hoc  pomum  est  iucundum,  this  apple  is  pleasant. 
\  edere  est  iucundum,  to  eat  is  pleasant.

DOUBLE    ACCUSATIVE. 

32.    Verbs  which  make  sense  with  an  accusative 
either  of  the  person  or  of  the  tiling,  sometimes  use 
both  at  once.     This  is  called  Double  Accusative. 
te  philcsophiam  docebo,  /  will  teach  you  philosophy. 

(1)  With  some  verbs  the  accusative  of  the  thing  is 
generally  expressed  by  the  present  infinitive. 

docebo  te  tacere,  /  will  teach  you  to  be  silent. 
quis  te  vetuit  canere,  iv ho  forbade  your  singing? 
omnes  discedere  iussit,  he  ordered  all  to  depart. 
Cimbi  os  prohibuerunt  suos  fines  vastire,  they  kept  the  Cimbri 
from  laying  waste  their  territories.

Accusative  of  person  becomes  nominative. 
Accusative  of  thing  remains. 

magister  docet  puerum  litteras,  the  master  teaches  the  boy 
letters. 

puer  docetur  litteras  a  magistro,  the  boy  is  taught  letters

PARTICIPLES.  67 

PARTICIPLES. 

34.  Participles  are  partly  Adjective,  partly  Verb. 

Participles  may  often  be  translated  by  a  relative 
clause,  or  by  an  adverbial  clause,  introduced  by  the 
conjunctions  when,  while,  because,  etc. 

1 .  vidi  meum  f ilium  saltantem. 

(  dancing. 
I  saw  my  son  -{ 

(^  while  lie  was  dancing. 

2.  vidi  latronem  gladio  armatum. 

(  armed  with  a  sword. 
I  have  seen  a  robber  •{       . 

(  who  was  armed. 

3.  hostes  victi  pacem  petierunt. 

(  conquered,  sought  for  peace. 
The  enemy,  \ 

(^  when  they  had  been  conquered. 

4.  mflites  armis  impediti  fugere  non  potuerunt. 

(  hampered  with  their  arms, could  not  flee. 
The  soldiers,  <  ,  .  .        ,        , 

(  because  they  were  hampered. 

5.  f  lumen  eos  tiansituros  equites  oppresserunt. 

(  about  to  cross  the  river. 
The  cavalry  surprised  them  <         .  .         . 

(  as  they  were  on  the  point. 

N.B.  —  Remember  that  the  past  participle  is  passive,  and  do  not 
translate  it  by  having. 

PRICE   AND    VALUE. 

35.  Fixed  value   is   expressed   by  the  ablative  ; 
unfixed  value  is  expressed  by  the  genitive. 

i.    parvi  hostes  habet,  he  thinks  the  enemy  of  little  impor- 
tance. 


68  ANECDOTES. 

2.  emit  hortos  ducentis  minis,  he  bought  the  gardens  for  two 

hundred  minae. 

3.  vendidi  alterum  equum  talento,  alterum  pluris,  /  sold  one 

horse  for  a  talent,  the  other  for  more. 
(  quanta  aestimas  agrum  ?    at  what  price  do  yo^l  value  the 

4.  J       field? 

[  quinque  talentis,  (at)  five  talents. 

36.  The  relative  is  often  used  in  Latin  after  a 
full  stop.  This  does  not  make  the  sentence  adjec- 
tival, but  simply  serves  to  connect  it  with  what  has 
gone  before. 

RULE  12. —  After  a  full  stop  do  not  translate  the 
relative  by  who  or  which,  but  by  the  demonstratives 
he,  this,  etc.,  with  or  without  a  conjunction. 

1 .  quod  ubi  sensit,  (and)  when  he  perceived  this. 

2.  cui  respondit  senex,  (but)  the  old  man  answered  him.

GERUNDS   AND    SUPINES. 

38.    Gerunds  and  supines  are  used  to  make  up  the 
cases  of  the  verb-noun  infinitive. 

amare,  loving;   amandl,  of  loving;   amando,  to  or  by  loving. 

Thus  the  gerunds  are  used  like  the  genitive,  dative, 
and  ablative,  of  ordinary  nouns. 

1 .  amor  bibendi,  love  of  drinking. 

2.  parendo  artem  regnandi  discimus,  by  obeying  ive  learn  the 

art  of  ruling. 

NOTE.  —  Only  intransitive  verbs  as  a  rule  use  gerunds,  which  are 
declined  in  case,  but  not  in  gender  or  number. 

Transitive  verbs  use  an  adjectival  form  called  the  gerundive,  which 
agrees  with  its  noun  in  number,  gender,  and  case. 

1.  Belgae  vixerunt  piscibus  edendis,  the  Belgae  supported 

life  by  eating  fish. 

2.  profectus  est  cum  duabus  legionibus  ad  urbem  expug-

SUBJUNCTIVE   MOOD. 

40.  The  Subjunctive  Mood  is  never  used,  like  the 
Indicative,  to  describe  a  fact. 

It  expresses  desire,  hope,  or  doubt. 

1.  boni  simus,  let  us  be  good. 

2.  SIB  felix,  may  yau  be  fortunate. 

3.  quid  faciam  ?  what  am  I  to  do  f 

The  perfect  subjunctive  with  ne  is  used,  instead  of  the 
imperative,  to  express  negative  commands  of  the  second 
person. 

ne  h5c  feceris,  do  not  do  this. 

Observe  that  ne,  used  in  commands,  is  placed  first  in  its 
sentence ;  -«<?,  used  in  questions,  is  added  to  the  first  word. 
See  §  18. 


88  ANECDOTES. 

The  subjunctive  mood  is  used  to  express  purpose, 
consequence,  condition,  etc. 

It  is  translated  by  the  English  subjunctive  when 
it  expresses  purpose,  and  sometimes  when  it  ex- 
presses condition,  but  in  other  cases  by  the  indicative. 

1.  portas  claudit,  ne  quis  effugiat,  he  shuts  the  gates,  that  no 

one  may  escape. 

2.  tanta  erat  caedes,  ut  nemo  effugeret,  so  great  was  the 

slaughter,  that  no  one  escaped. 

3.  si  ill!  effugissent,  ego  custodem  necavissem,  if  they  had 

escaped,  I  should  have  killed  the  jailor. 

4.  cum  effugissent,  domum  redierunt,  when  they  had  escaped, 

they  returned  home.

112.  An  Ill-matched  Pair. 

Lupus  olim  cum  volpe  societatem  coniunxit.  Hanc 
igitur,  quod  multo  inflrmior  erat,  quodcumque  ille  im- 
peravit,  facere  oportebat.  Aliquando,  dum  per  silvam 
comites  iter  faciunt,  "Volpes  carissima,"  inquit  lupus, 
"  aliquid  cibi  mihi  quam  celerrime  adfer,  ne  fame  coactus 
te  ipsam  devorem."  "  Equidem,"  respondit  volpes  minis 
perterrita,  "  haud  procul  ab  hoc  loco  duos  agnos  pridie 
conspexi,  quos  facillime  tibi  adferre  potero."  Cum  hoc 
inter  eos  convenisset,  volpes  ex  agnls  alterum  ab  agro  ad 
lupum  porta vit.  Deinde,  ut  sibi  aliquid  invemret,  discessit. 
At  lupus,  qui  brevi  agnum  devoravit,  ne  hoc  quidem  satis 
contentus,  ut  altero  potiretur,  ipse  ad  ovile  profectus  est. 
Is  autem,  quod  rem  incautius  egit,  a  pastore  captus  ita 
graviter  verberatus  est,  ut  corpus  ad  silvam  vix  trahere 
posset.

secutus,  horreum  agricolae  cuiusdam  rima  haud  ita  magna

ACCUSATIVE    AND    INFINITIVE. 

41.  Study  the  following  Latin  sentences  and  the 
translation. 

1.  Dico  te  scribere   /  say  that  you  are  writing  (write  or 
do  write). 

2.  Putamus  te  scripsisse,   we  think  that  you  wrote  (or 
have  written). 

42.  In  translating  we  introduce  the  word  that 
after  the  leading  verb,  then  we  translate  the  accusa- 
tive as  if  it  were  nominative,  and  the  infinitive  as  if 
it  were  indicative. 

43.  This  construction  of  the  accusative  and  in- 
finitive is  regularly  used  after  verbs  of  saying,  think- 
ing, knowing,  2a\&  perceiving. 

INDIRECT   QUESTIONS. 

44.  Study  the  following  Latin  sentences  and  the 
translation  : 

1.  Scio  quis  sis,  /  know  who  you  are. 

2.  Sciebam  ubi  essemus,  /  knew  where  we  were. 


96  CUM  CAUSAL  OR  CONCESSIVE. 

45.  Notice  that  the  subjunctives  sis  and  essemus 
are  translated    by  the    indicative.     The    dependent 
clauses  are  called  indirect  questions,  for  they  repre- 
sent quis  es?  and  ubi  eramus? 

46.  Indirect  questions  begin  with  an  interrogative 
word  and  have  the  verb  in  the  subjunctive. 

CUM  CAUSAL    OR    CONCESSIVE. 

47.  Cum   sometimes   means  as  or  since;    some- 
times  though.     When   it    has    either  of   these  two 
meanings  it  is  followed  by  the  subjunctive. 

1.  Cum  amici  adsint,  gaudemus,  since   our  friends  are 
present,  we  rejoice. 

2.  Cum  fortiter  pugnarent,  tamen  non  vicerunt,  though 
they  fought  bravely,  yet  they  did  not  conquer. 

48.  Observe  that  the  subjunctive  is  translated 
as  if  it  were  indicative. 

THE  RELATIVE  OF  PURPOSE. 

49.  We  may  say  in  Latin  :  — 

1.  Legati  miss!  sunt  ut  pacem  peterent. 

2.  Legati  missi  sunt  qui  pacem  peterent. 

The  translation  is  the  same  :  — 

deputies  were  sent  to  site  for  peace. 

50.  The  relative  may  be  used  to  denote  purpose, 
and,  with  the  following  subjunctive,  may  be  trans- 
lated by  the  infinitive. 


THE  ARGONAUTS.  97 


THE   ARGONAUTS. 

The  celebrated  voyage  of  the  Argonauts  was  brought  about 
as  follows.  Pelias  had  expelled  his  brother  Aeson  from  his 
kingdom  in  Thessaly  and  had  attempted  to  take  the  life  of 
Jason,  the  son  of  Aeson.  Jason,  however,  escaped  and  grew 
up  to  manhood  in  another  country.  At  last  he  returned  to 
Thessaly,  and  Pelias,  fearing  that  he  might  attempt  to  recover 
the  kingdom,  sent  him  to  fetch  the  Golden  Fleece  from 
Colchis,  supposing  this  to  be  an  impossible  feat.  Jason  with  a 
band  of  heroes  started  in  the  ship  Argo  (called  after  Argus,  its 
builder),  and  after  many  adventures  reached  Colchis.  Here 
Aeetes,  king  of  Colchis,  who  was  unwilling  to  give  up  the 
Fleece,  set  Jason  to  perform  what  seemed  an  impossible  task, 
viz.,  to  plough  a  field  with  certain  fire-breathing  oxen  and  then 
to  sow  it  with  dragon's  teeth.  Medea,  the  daughter  of  the 
king,  however,  assisted  Jason  by  her  skill  in  magic,  first  to 
perform  the  task  appointed,  and  then  to  procure  the  Fleece. 
Medea  then  fled  with  Jason,  and,  in  order  to  delay  the  pursuit 
of  her  father,  sacrificed  her  brother  Absyrtus.  After  reaching 
Thessaly,  Medea  caused  the  death  of  Pelias,  and  was,  with  her 
husband,  expelled  from  Thessaly.  They  removed  to  Corinth, 
and  here  Medea,  becoming  jealous  of  Glauce,  daughter  of 
Creon,  caused  her  death  by  means  of  a  poisoned  robe.  After 
this  Medea  was  carried  off  in  a  chariot  sent  by  the  sun-god, 
and  Jason  was  soon  afterwards  accidentally  killed. 


114.     The  Wicked  Uncle. 

Erant  olim  in  Thessalia  duo  fratres,  quorum  alter  Ae- 
son, alter  Pelias  appellatus  est.  Horum  Aeson  primum 
regnum  obtinuerat  ;  at  post  paucos  annos  Pelias,  regnl

cupiditate  adductus,  non  modo  fratrem  suum  expulit,  sed 
etiam  in  animo  habebat,  lasonem,  Aesonis  filium,  inter- 
ficere.  Quldam  tamen  ex  amicis  Aesonis,  ubi  sententiam 
Peliae  intellexerunt,  puerum  e  tanto  perlculo  eripere  con- 
stituerunt.  Noctu  igitur  lasonem  ex  urbe  abstulerunt  et 
cum  postero  die  ad  regem  rediissent,  el  renuntiaverunt 
puerum  mortuum  esse.  Pelias,  cum  haec  audivisset,  etsl 
re  vera  magnum  gaudium  percipiebat,  speciem  tamen 
doloris  praebuit  et  quae  causa  esset  mortis  quaeslvit.  IllI 
tamen,  cum  bene  intellegerent  dolorem  eius  falsum  esse, 
nescio  quam  fabulam  de  morte  pueri  finxerunt. 

115.    A  Careless  Shoe-String. 

Post  breve  tempus  Pelias,  veritus  ne  regnum  suum 
tanta  vi  et  fraude  occupatum  amitteret,  amicum  quendam 
Delphos  mlsit,  qui  oraculum  consuleret.  Ille  igitur  quam 
celerrime  Delphos  se  contulit  et  quam  ob  causam  venisset 
demonstravit.  Respondit  oraculum  nullum  esse  in  prae- 
sentia  periculum  :  monuit  tamen  Peliam  ut,  si  quis  veniret 
calceum  unum  gerens,  eum  caveret.  Post  paucos  annos 
accidit  ut  Pelias  magnum  sacrificium  facturus  esset : 
nuntios  in  omnes  partes  dimiserat  et  certum  diem  con- 
veniendi  dixerat.  Die  constitute  magnus  numerus  homi- 
num  undique  ex  agris  convenit :  inter  alios  autem  venit 
etiam  lason  qui  a  puero  apud  Centaurum  quendam  vlxe- 
rat.  Dum  tamen  iter  facit,  calceum  alterum  in  transeundo 
nescio  quo  flumine  amisit. 

116.    The  Golden  Fleece. 

lason  igitur,  cum  calceum  amlssum  nullo  modd  recipere 
posset,  altero  pede  nudo  in  regiam  pervenit :  quern  cum 


THE  ARGONAUTS.  99 

vidisset,  Pelias  subito  timore  adfectus  est ;  intellexit  enim 
hunc  esse  hominem  quern  oraculum  demonstravisset. 
Hoc  igitur  iniit  consilium.  Rex  erat  quidam  nomine 
Aeetes,  qul  regnum  Colchidis  illo  tempore  obtinebat. 
Huic  commissum  erat  vellus  illud  aureum  quod  Phrlxus 
olim  ibi  reliquerat.  Constituit  igitur  Pelias  lasoni  negd- 
tium  dare  ut  hoc  vellere  potiretur  :  cum  enim  res  esset 
magni  penculi,  sperabat  eum  in  itinere  periturum  esse : 
lasonem  igitur  ad  se  arcessivit  et'quid  fieri  vellet  demon- 
stravit.  lason  autem,  etsi  bene  intellegebat  rem  esse 
difficillimam,  negotium  libenter  suscepit. 

117.     The  Building  of  the  Good  Ship  Argo. 

Cum  tamen  Colchis  multorum  dierum  iter  ab  eo  loco 
abesset,  noluit  lason  solus  proficisci :  dimisit  igitur  nun- 
tios  in  omnes  partes,  qul  causam  itineris  docerent  et  diem 
certum  conveniendi  dicerent.  Interea,  postquam  omnia 
quae  sunt  usui  ad  armandas  naves  comportarl  iussit, 
negotium  dedit  Argo  cuidam,  qui  summam  scientiam 
rerum  nauticarum  habebat,  ut  navem  aedificaret.  In  his 
rebus  circiter  decem  dies  consumpti  sunt :  Argus  enim 
qui  operi  praeerat  tantam  diligentiam  praebebat,  ut  ne 
nocturnum  quiclem  tempus  ad  laborem  intermitteret.  Ad 
multitudinem  hominum  transportandam  navis  paulo  erat 
latior  quam  quibus  in  nostro  mari  uti  consuevimus  et  ad 
vim  tempestatum  perferendam  tota  e  robore.facta  est.

niebant.  Tradunt  autem  in  hoc  numero  fuisse  Herculem, 
Orpheum,  citharoedum  praeclarissimum,  Theseum,  Cas- 
torem  et  multos  alios,  quorum  nomina  notissima  sunt. 
Ex  his  lasdn,  quos  arbitratus  est  ad  omnia  subeunda 
perlcula  paratissimos  esse,  eos  ad  numerum  quinquaginta 
delegit  et  socios  sibi  adiunxit :  turn  paucos  dies  commo- 
ratus,  ut  ad  omnes  casus  subsidia  compararet,  navem 
deduxit  et  tempestatem  ad  navigandum  idoneam  nactus 
magno  cum  plausu  omnium  solvit. 

119.     A  Fatal  Mistake. 

Haud  multum  post  Argonautae,  ita  enim  appellati  sunt 
qui  in  ista  navi  vehebantur,  insulam  quandam  nomine 
Cyzicum  attigerunt  et  e  navi  egressl  a  rege  illius  regionis 
hospitio  except!  sunt.  Paucas  horas  ibi  commorati  ad 
solis  occasum  rursus  solverunt :  at,  postquam  pauca 
millia  passuum  progress!  sunt,  tanta  tempestas  subito 
coorta  est,  ut  cursum  tenere  non  possent  et  in  eandem 
partem  insulae,  unde  nuper  profect!  erant,  magno  cum 
pericul5  deicerentur.  Incolae  tamen,  cum  nox  esset  ob- 
scura,  Argonautas  non  agnoscebant  et  navem  inimicam 
venisse  arbitral!,  arma  rapuerunt  et  eos  egredi  prohibe- 
bant.  Acriter  in  litore  pugnatum  est  et  rex  ipse,  qui  cum 
aliis  decucurrerat,  ab  Argonautis  occisus  est.  Mox  tamen, 
cum  iam  dilucesceret,  senserunt  incolae  se  errare  et  arma 
abiecerunt :  Argonautae  autem,  cum  viderent  regem 
occisum  esse,  magnum  dolorem  perceperunt. 

120.     The  Loss  of  Hylas. 

Postridie  eius  die!  lason,  tempestatem  satis  idoneam 
esse  arbitratus,  summa  enim  tranquillitas  iam  consecuta 


THE  ARGONAUTS.  101 

erat,  ancoras  sustulit  et  pauca  millia  passuum  progressus, 
ante  noctem  Mysiam  attigit.  Ibi  paucas  horas  in  ancoris 
exspectavit ;  a  nautis  enim  cognoverat  aquae  copiam 
quam  secum  haberent  iam  deficere  :  quam  ob  causam 
quidam  ex  Argonautis  in  terram  egress!  aquam  quaere- 
bant.  Horum  in  numero  erat  Hylas  quidam,  puer  forma 
praestantissima ;  qui,  dum  fontem  quaerit,  a  comitibus 
paulum  secesserat.  Nymphae  autem,  quae  fontem  cole- 
bant,  cum  iuvenem  vidissent,  ei  persuadere  conatae  sunt 
ut  secum  maneret ;  et  cum  ille  negaret  se  hoc  facturum 
esse,  puerum  vl  abstulerunt. 

Comites  eius,  postquam  Hylam  amissum  esse  sense- 
runt,  magno  dolore  adfecti,  diu  frustra  quaerebant :  Her- 
cules autem  et  Polyphemus,  qui  vestigia  pueri  longius 
secuti  erant,  ubi  tandem  ad  litus  redierunt,  lasonem  sol- 
visse  cognoverunt. 

121.     Dining  Made  Difficult. 

Post  haec  Argon autae  ad  Thraciam  cursum  tenuerunt 
et  postquam  ad  oppidum  Salmydessum  navem  appulerant, 
in  terram  egressi  sunt.  Ibi  cum  ab  incolis  quaesissent 
quis  regnum  eius  regionis  obtineret,  certiores  facti  sunt 
Phineum  quendam  turn  regem  esse.  Cognoverunt  etiam 
hunc  caecum  esse  et  diro  quodam  supplicio  adfici,  quod 
olim  se  crudelissimum  in  filios  suos  praebuisset.  Cuius 
supplici  hoc  erat  genus.  Missa  erant  a  love  monstra 
quaedam,  specie  horribili,  quae  capita  virginum,  corpora 
volucrum  habebant.  Hae  volucres,  quae  Harpyiae 
appellabantur,  Phineo  summam  molestiam  adferebant ; 
quotiens  enim  ille  accubuerat,  veniebant  et  cibum  apposi- 
tum  statim  auferebant.  Quae  cum  ita  essent,  haud 
multum  afuit  quin  Phlneus  fame  moreretur. 


102  THE  ARGONAUTS. 

122.     The  Harpies  Beaten. 

Res  igitur  in  hoc  loco  erant,  cum  Argonautae  navem 
appulerunt.  Phineus  autem,  simul  atque  audlvit  eos  in 
suos  fines  egressos  esse,  magnopere  gavisus  est.  Sciebat 
enim  quantam  opinionem  virtutis  Argonautae  haberent 
nee  dubitabat  quin  sibi  auxilium  ferrent.  Nuntium  igitur 
ad  navem  misit,  qui  lasonem  sociosque  ad  regiam  vocaret. 
Eo  cum  venissent,  Phineus  demonstravit  quanto  in  periculo 
suae  res  essent  et  promisit  se  magna  praemia  daturum 
esse,  si  illl  remedium  reperissent.  Argonautae  negotium 
libenter  susceperunt  et  ubi  hdra  venit,  cum  rege  accubue- 
runt ;  at  simul  ac  cena  apposita  est,  Harpyiae  cenaculum 
intraverunt  et  cibum  auferre  conabantur.  Argonautae 
prlmum  gladiis  volucres  petierunt ;  cum  tamen  viderent  h5c 
nihil  prSdesse,  Zetes  et  Calais,  qui  alis  Instruct!  sunt,  in 
aera  se  sublevaverunt,  ut  desuper  impetum  facerent. 
Quod  cum  sensissent  Harpyiae,  rei  novitate  perterritae, 
statim  aufugerunt  neque  postea  umquam  redierunt. 

123.    The  Symplegades. 

H5c  facts,  Phineus,  ut  prd  tanto  beneficio  meritas 
gratias  referret,  lasoni  demonstravit  qua  ratione  Symple- 
gades vitare  posset.  Symplegades  autem  duae  erant 
rupes  ingenti  magnitudine,  quae  a  love  positae  erant  eo 
consilio,  ne  quis  ad  Colchida  perveniret.  Hae  parv5 
intervallo  in  marl  natabant  et,  si  quid  in  medium  spatium 
venerat,  incredibill  celeritate  concurrebant.  Postquam 
igitur  a  Phlneo  doctus  est  quid  faciendum  esset,  lason 
sublatis  ancorls  navem  solvit  et  lenl  vento  provectus  mox 
ad  Symplegades  approplnquavit :  turn  in  prora  stans 
columbam  quam  in  manu  tenebat  emisit.  Ilia  recta  via 


THE.  ARGONAUTS.  103 

per  medium  spatium  volavit  et  priusquam  rupes  conflixe- 
runt  incolumis  evasit,  cauda  tantum  amissa.  Turn  rupes 
utrimque  discesserunt ;  antequam  tamen  rursus  concur- 
rerent,  Argonautae  bene  intellegentes  omnem  spem  salutis 
in  celeritate  positam  esse  summa  vi  remis  contenderunt 
et  navem  incolumem  perduxerunt.  Hoc  facto,  dls  gratias 
libenter  egerunt,  quorum  auxilio  e  tanto  perlculo  ereptl 
essent :  bene  enim  sciebant  non  sine  auxilio  deorum  rem 
ita  feliciter  evenisse. 

124.     A  Heavy  Task. 

Brevi  intermissS  spatio,  Argonautae  ad  flumen  Phasim 
venerunt,  quod  in  finibus  Colchorum  erat.  Ibi  cum  navem 
appulissent  et  in  terram  egressi  essent,  statim  ad  regem 
Aeetem  se  contulerunt  et  ab  eo  postulaverunt  ut  vellus 
aureum  sibi  traderetur.  Ille  cum  audivisset  quam  ob 
causam  Argonautae  venissent,  Ira  commotus  est  et  diu 
negabat  se  vellus  traditurum  esse.  Tandem  tamen,  quod 
sciebat  lasonem  non  sine  auxilio  deorum  hoc  negotium 
suscepisse,  mutata  sententia  promisit  se  vellus  traditurum, 
si  lason  labores  duos  difficillim5s  prius  perfecisset ;  et 
cum  lason  dlxisset  se  ad  omnia  pericula  subeunda  paratum 
esse,  quid  fieri  vellet,  ostendit.  Prlmum  iungendi  erant 
duo  tauri  specie  horribili,  qui  flammas  ex  ore  edebant  ; 
turn,  his  iunctls,  ager  quidam  arandus  erat  et  denies 
draconis  serendi.  His  auditis,  lason,  etsi  rem  esse 
summi  periculi  intellegebat,  tamen,  ne  hanc  occasionem 
rei  bene  gerendae  amitteret,  negotium  suscepit. 

125.     The  Magic  Ointment. 

At  Medea,  regis  fllia,  lasonem  adamavit  et  ubi  audivit 
eum  tantum  perlculum  subiturum  esse,  rem  aegre  ferebat. 


104  THE   ARGONAUTS. 

Intellegebat  enim  patrem  suum  hunc  laborem  proposuisse 
eo  ipso  consilio,  ut  lason  moreretur.  Quae  cum  ita 
essent,  Medea,  quae  summam  scientiam  medicinae  habe- 
bat,  hoc  consilium  iniit.  Media  nocte  clam  patre  ex  urbe 
evasit ;  et  postquam  in  montes  f Initimos  venit,  herbas 
quasdam  carpsit ;  turn  suco  expresso  unguentum  paravit 
quod  vi  sua  corpus  aleret  nervosque  confirmaret.  Hoc 
facto  lasoni  unguentum  dedit :  praecepit  autem,  ut  eo 
die,  quo  istl  labores  conficiendl  essent,  corpus  suum  et 
arma  mane  oblineret.  lason,  etsl  paene  omnes  magnitu- 
dine  et  viribus  corporis  antecellebat,  vita  enim  omnis  in 
venationibus  atque  in  studiis  rei  mllitaris  constiterat, 
censebat  tamen  hoc  consilium  non  neglegendum  esse. 


126.     Sowing  the  Dragon's  Teeth. 

Ubi  is  dies  venit  quern  rex  ad  arandum  agrum  edixerat, 
lason  orta  luce  cum  sociis  ad  locum  constitutum  se  con- 
tulit.  Ibi  stabulum  ingens  repperit  in  quo  taurl  inclusi 
erant :  turn  portis  apertis  tauros  in  lucem  traxit  et  summa 
cum  difficultate  iugum  imposuit.  At  Aeetes,  cum  videret 
tauros  nihil  contra  lasonem  valere,  magnopere  miratus 
est ;  nesciebat  enim  f iliam  suam  auxilium  ei  dedisse. 
Turn  lason  omnibus  aspicientibus  agrum  arare  coepit ; 
qua  in  re  tantam  diligentiam  praebuit,  ut  ante  meridiem 
totum  opus  confecerit.  Hoc  facto,  ad  locum  ubi  rex 
sedebat  adiit  et  denies  draconis  postulavit :  quos  ubi 
accepit,  in  agrum  quern  araverat  magna  cum  dlligentia 
sparsit.  Horum  autem  dentium  natura  erat  talis  ut,  in 
eo  loco  ubi  insiti  essent,  viri  armati  miro  quodam  modo 
gignerentur.

Nondum  tamen  lason  totum  opus  confecerat :  impera- 
verat  enim  el  Aeetes  ut  armatos  viros  qui  e  dentibus 
gignerentur  solus  interficeret.  Postquam  igitur  omnes 
denies  in  agrum  sparsit,  lason  lassitudine  exanimatus 
quietl  se  tradidit,  dum  viri  isti  gignerentur.  Paucas 
horas  dormiebat ;  sub  vesperum  tamen  e  somno  subito 
excitatus  rem  ita  evenisse,  ut  praedictum  erat,  cognovit : 
nam  in  omnibus  agri  partibus  viri  ingenti  magnitudine 
corporis,  gladils  galelsque  armati,  mirum  in  modum  e 
terra  oriebantur.  Hoc  cognito  lason  consilium  quod 
dederat  Medea  non  omittendum  esse  putabat;  saxum 
igitur  ingens,  ita  enim  praeceperat  Medea,  in  medios  viros 
coniecit.  111!  undique  ad  locum  concurrerunt  et  cum 
quisque  sibi  id  saxum,  nescio  cur,  habere  vellet,  magna 
controversia  orta  est.  Mox  strictis  gladils  inter  se  pug- 
nare  coeperunt  et  cum  hoc  modo  plurimi  occisi  essent, 
reliqui  volneribus  confecti  a  lasone  nullo  negotio  inter- 
fecti  sunt. 

128.  Flight  of  Medea. 

At  rex  Aeetes,  ubi  cognovit  lasonem  laborem  proposi- 
tum  confecisse,  Ira  graviter  commotus  est :  intellegebat 
enim  id  per  dolum  factum  esse  nee  dubitabat  quin  Medea 
auxilium  el  tulisset.  Medea  autem,  cum  intellegeret  se 
in  magno  fore  periculo,  si  in  regia  mansisset,  fuga  salutem 
petere  constituit.  Omnibus  igitur  ad  fugam  paratis  media 
nocte  Insciente  patre  cum  fratre  Absyrto  evasit  et  quam 
celerrime  ad  locum  ubi  Argo  subducta  erat  se  contulit. 
Eo  cum  venisset,  ad  pedes  lasonis  se  proiecit  et  multis 
cum  lacrimis  obsecravit  eum,  ne  in  tanto  discrimine

mulierern  desereret,  quae  ei  tantum  profuisset.  I  lie, 
quod  memoria  tenebat  se  per  eius  auxilium  e  magno 
periculo  evasisse,  libenter  earn  excepit  et  postquam  causam 
veniendi  audivit,  hortatus  est  ne  patris  Iram  timeret.  Pro- 
misit  autem  se  quam  primum  earn  in  nave  sua  avecturum. 

129.     The  Seizure  of  the  Fleece. 

Postridie  eius  diei  lasdn  cum  socils  suis  orta  luce 
navem  deduxit  et  tempestatem  idoneam  nacti  ad  eum 
locum  remls  contenderunt,  qud  in  loco  Medea  vellus  cela- 
tum  esse  demonstravit.  Eo  cum  venissent,  lason  in 
terram  egressus  est  et  socils  ad  mare  relictis  qul  praesidio 
navi  essent,  ipse  cum  Medea  in  silvas  viam  cepit.  Pauca 
millia  passuum  per  silvam  progressus  vellus  quod  quaere- 
bat  ex  arbore  suspensum  vldit.  Id  tamen  auferre  res 
erat  summae  difficultatis :  non  modo  enim  locus  ipse 
egregie  et  natura  et  arte  munltus  erat,  sed  etiam  draco 
quidam  specie  terribili  arborem  custodiebat.  At  Medea, 
quae,  ut  supra  demonstravimus,  medicmae  summam 
scientiam  habuit,  ramum  quern  ex  arbore  proxima  deri- 
puerat  veneno  Infecit.  Hoc  facts  ad  locum  appropin- 
quavit  et  draconem,  qui  faucibus  apertis  adventum 
exspectabat,  venen5  sparsit:  proinde,  dum  dracd  somno 
oppressus  dormit,  lason  vellus  aureum  ex  arbore  deripuit 
et  cum  Medea  quam  celerrime  pedem  rettulit.

Dum  tamen  ea  geruntur,  Argonautae,  qui  ad  mare 
relicti  erant,  animo  anxio  reditum  lasonis  exspectabant : 
bene  enim  intellegebant  id  negotium  summi  esse  periculi. 
Postquam  igitur  ad  occasum  solis  frustra  exspectaverant, 


THE   ARGONAUTS.  107 

de  eius  salute  desperare  coeperunt  nee  dubitabant  quin 
aliqui  casus  accidisset.  Quae  cum  ita  essent,  maturan- 
dum  sibi  censuerunt,  ut  auxilium  duel  ferrent :  et  dum 
proficisci  parant  lumen  quoddam  subito  conspiciunt 
mirum  in  modum  inter  silvas  refulgens  :  et  magnopere 
mirati  quae  causa  esset  eius  rei  ad  locum  concurrunt. 
Quo  cum  venissent,  lasoni  et  Medeae  advenientibus 
occurrerunt  et  vellus  aureum  luminis  eius  causam  esse 
cognoverunt.  Omni  timore  sublato,  magno  cum  gaudio 
ducem  suum  exceperunt  et  dis  gratias  libenter  rettulerunt 
quod  res  ita  fellciter  evenisset. 


131.    Pursued  by  the  Angry  Father. 

His  rebus  gestis,  omnes  sine  mora  navem  rursus  con- 
scenderunt  et  sublatis  ancoris  prima  vigilia  solverunt : 
neque  enim  satis  tutum  esse  arbitrati  sunt  in  eo  loco 
manere.  At  rex  Aeetes,  qui  iam  ante  inimico  in  eos 
fuerat  animo,  ubi  cogndvit  filiam  suam  non  modo  ad 
Argonautas  se  recepisse  sed  etiam  ad  vellus  auferendum 
auxilium  tulisse,  hoc  dolore  gravius  exarsit.  Navem 
longam  quam  celerrime  deduci  iussit  et  militibus  impo- 
sitis  fugientes  Insecutus  est.  Argonautae,  qui  bene 
sciebant  rem  in  discrlmine  esse,  summls  viribus  remls 
contendebant :  cum  tamen  navis  qua  vehebantur  ingenti 
esset  magnitudine,  non  eadem  celeritate  qua  Colchi 
progredl  poterant.  Quae  cum  ita  essent,  minimum  afuit 
quin  a  Colchis  sequentibus  caperentur  neque  enim  lon- 
gius  intererat  quam  quo  telum  adici  posset.  At  Medea, 
cum  vidisset  quo  in  loco  res  essent,  paene  omni  spe 
deposita,  Infandum  hoc  consilium  cepit. 


108  THE  ARGONAUTS. 


132.     A  Fearful  Expedient. 

Erat  in  nave  Argonautarum  fllius  quidam  regis  Aeetae, 
nomine  Absyrtus,  quern,  ut  supra  demonstravimus,  Medea 
ex  urbe  fugiens  secum  abduxerat.  Hunc  puerum  Medea 
constituit  interficere  eo  consilio  ut,  membrls  eius  in  mare 
coniectls,  cursum  Colchorum  impediret  :  pro  certo  enim 
sciebat  Aeetem,  cum  membra  fill  vldisset,  non  longius 
prosecuturum  esse :  neque  oplnio  earn  fefellit :  omnia 
enim  ita  evenerunt  ut  Medea  speraverat.  Aeetes,  ubi 
prlmum  membra  vldit,  ad  ea  colligenda  navem  statui 
iussit :  dum  tamen  ea  geruntur,  Argonautae  non  inter- 
mlsso  remigandi  labore,  mox,  quod  necesse  fuit,  e  con- 
spectu  hostium  remoti  sunt  neque  prius  fugere  destiterunt 
quam  ad  flumen  Eridanum  pervenerunt.  At  Aeetes  nihil 
sibi  profuturum  esse  arbitratus,  si  longius  progressus 
esset,  animo  demisso  domum  revertit,  ut  fill  corpus  ad 
sepulturam  daret. 

133.      The  Bargain  with  Pelias. 

Tandem  post  multa  perlcula  lason  in  eundem  locum 
pervenit  unde  olim  profectus  erat.  Turn  e  navl  egressus 
ad  regem  Peliam  qui  regnum  adhuc  obtinebat  statim  se 
contulit  et  vellere  aureo  monstrato  -ab  eo  postulavit,  ut 
regnum  sibi  traderetur :  Pelias  enim  pollicitus  erat,  si 
lason  vellus  rettulisset,  se  regnum  el  traditurum.  Post- 
quam  lason  quid  fieri  vellet  ostendit,  Pelias  prlmum  nihil 
respondit,  sed  diu  in  eadem  trlstitia  tacitus  permansit : 
tandem  ita  locutus  est.  "  Vides  me  aetate  iam  esse  con- 
fectum  neaue  dubium  est  quin  dies  supremus  rnihi  adsit. 


THE   ARGONAUTS.  109 

Liceat  igitur  mihi  dum  vivam  hoc  regnum  obtinere  ;  turn, 
postquam  ego  e  vita  discessero,  tu  in  meum  locum 
venies."  Hac  oratione  adductus  lason  respondit  se  id 
facturum  quod  ille  rogasset. 

134.     Boiled  Mutton. 

His  rebus  cognitis,  Medea  rem  aegre  tulit  et  regnl 
cupiditate  adducta  constituit  mortem  regi  per  dolum 
inferre.  Hoc  constitute),  ad  filias  regis  venit  atque  ita 
locuta  est.  "Videtis  patrem  vestrum  aetate  iam  esse 
confectum  neque  ad  laborem  regnandi  perferendum  satis 
valere.  Voltisne  eum  rursus  iuvenem  fieri  ?  "  Turn  filiae 
regis  his  auditis  ita  responderunt.  "  Num  hoc  fieri 
potest?  Quis  enim  unquam  e  sene  iuvenis  factus  est?  " 
At  Medea  respondit,  "  Scitis  me  medicinae  summam 
habere  scientiam.  Nunc  igitur  vobis  demonstrabo  quo- 
modo  haec  res  fieri  possit."  His  dictis,  cum  arietem 
aetate  iam  confectum  interfecisset,  membra  eius  in  vas 
aeneum  posuit  et  igne  supposito  aquae  herbas  quasdam 
infudit.  Turn,  dum  aqua  effervesceret,  carmen  magicum 
cantabat.  Post  breve  tempus  aries  e  vase  exsiluit  et 
viribus  refectis  per  agros  currebat. 

135.     A  Dangerous  Experiment. 

Dum  filiae  regis  hoc  miraculum  stupentes  intuentur, 
Medea  ita  locuta  est.  "Videtis  quantum  valeat  medi- 
cina.  Vos  igitur,  si  voltis  patrem  vestrum  in  adulescen- 
tiam  reducere,  id  quod  feci  ipsae  facietis.  Vos  patris 
membra  in  vas  conicite ;  ego  herbas  magicas  praebebo." 
His  auditis,  filiae  regis  consilium  quod  dederat  Medea 
non  omittendum  putaverunt :  patrem  igitur  Peliam  neca- 


110  ARGONAUTS. 

verunt  et  membra  eius  in  vas  aeneum  coniecerunt ;  nihil 
enim  dubitabant  quln  hoc  maxime  el  profuturum  esset. 
At  res  omnlno  aliter  evenit  ac  speraverant :  Medea  enim 
non  easdem  herbas  dedit  quibus  ipsa  usa  erat.  Itaque, 
postquam  diu  frustra  exspectaverunt,  patrem  suum  re  vera 
mortuum  esse  intellexerunt.  His  rebus  gestis,  Medea 
sperabat  se  cum  coniuge  sud  regnum  accepturam  esse : 
at  elves,  cum  intellegerent  quo  modo  Pelias  periisset, 
tantum  scelus  aegre  tulerunt :  itaque  lasone  et  Medea  e 
regno  expulsis,  Acastum  regem  creaverunt. 

136.     A  Fatal  Gift. 

Post  haec  lasdn  et  Medea  e  Thessalia  expulsi  ad  urbem 
Corinthum  venerunt,  cuius  urbis  Creon  quldam  regnum 
turn  obtinebat.  Erat  autem  Creonti  filia  una,  nomine 
Glauce  ;  quam  cum  vidisset,  lason  constituit  Medeam 
uxorem  suam  repudiate  eo  consilio  ut  Glaucen  in  matri- 
monium  duceret.  At  Medea,  ubi  intellexit  quae  ille  in 
animo  haberet,  Ira  graviter  commota,  iureiurando  con- 
flrmavit  se  tantam  iniuriam  ulturam.  Hoc  igitur  consilium 
cepit.  Vestem  paravit  summa  arte  contextam  et  variis 
coloribus  tinctam  :  hanc  dlro  quodam  Infecit  veneno,  cuius 
vis  talis  erat,  ut,  si  quis  earn  vestem  induisset,  corpus  eius 
quasi  Ignl  ureretur.  Hoc  facto,  vestem  ad  Glaucen  mlsit : 
ilia  autem  nihil  mall  suspicans  donum  libenter  accepit  et 
vestem  novam,  more  feminarum,  statim  induit.

Vix  vestem  induerat  Glauce,  cum  dolorem  gravem  per 
omnia  membra  sensit  et  post  pauluin  dlro  cruciatu  adfecta 
e  vita  excessit.  His  rebus  gestis,  Medea  furore  atque

amentia  impulsa  filios  su5s  necavit :  turn  magnum  sibi 
fore  perlculum  arbitrata,  si  in  Thessalia  maneret,  ex  ea 
regione  fugere  constituit.  Hoc  constitute,  Solem  oravit 
ut  in  tanto  perlculo  auxilium  sibi  praeberet.  Sol  autem 
his  precibus  commotus  currum  quendam  misit,  cul  dra- 
cones  alls  instruct!  iiinctl  erant.  Medea  non  omittendam 
tantam  occasionem  arbitrata  currum  conscendit  itaque 
per  aera  vecta  iricolumis  ad  urbem  Athenas  pervenit. 
lason  autem  post  breve  tempus  miro  modo  occlsus  est. 
Ille  enim,  sive  casu  sive  consilio  deorum,  sub  umbra 
navis  suae,  quae  in  litus  subducta  erat,  dlim  dormiebat. 
At  navis,  quae  adhuc  erecta  steterat,  in  earn  partem  ubi

ULYSSES. 

Ulysses,  a  celebrated  Greek  hero,  took  a  prominent  part  in 
the  long  siege  of  Troy.  After  the  fall  of  the  city,  he  set  out 
with  his  followers  on  his  homeward  voyage  to  Ithaca,  an  island 
of  which  he  was  king  ;  but,  being  driven  out  of  his  course  by 
northerly  winds,  he  was  compelled  to  touch  at  the  country  of 
the  Lotus  Eaters,  who  are  supposed  to  have  lived  on  the  north 
coast  of  Libya  (Africa).  Some  of  his  comrades  were  so 
delighted  with  the  lotus  fruit  that  they  wished  to  remain  in  the 
country,  but  Ulysses  compelled  them  to  embark  again,  and 
continued  his  voyage.  He  next  came  to  the  island  of  Sicily, 
and  fell  into  the  hands  of  the  giant  Polyphemus,  one  of  the 
Cyclopes.  After  several  of  his  comrades  had  been  killed  by 
the  monster,  Ulysses  made  his  escape  by  stratagem,  and  next 
reached  the  country  of  the  Winds.  Here  he  received  the  help 


112  ULYSSES. 

of  ^Eolus,  king  of  the  winds,  and,  having  set  sail  again,  arrived 
within  sight  of  Ithaca  ;  but,  owing  to  the  folly  of  his  compan- 
ions, the  winds  became  suddenly  adverse,  and  they  were  again 
driven  back.  They  then  touched  at  an  island  occupied  by 
Circe,  a  powerful  enchantress,  who  exercised  her  charms  on 
the  companions  of  Ulysses,  and  turned  them  into  swine.  By 
the  help  of  the  god  Mercury,  Ulysses  himself  not  only  escaped 
this  fate,  but  forced  Circe  to  restore  her  victims  to  human 
shape.  After  staying  a  year  with  Circe,  Ulysses  again  set  out, 
and  eventually  reached  his  home. 


138.     Homeward  Bound. 

Urbem  Troiam  a  Graecis  decem  annos  obsessam  esse, 
satis  constat  :  de  hoc  enim  bello  Homerus,  maximus 
poetarum  Graecorum,  Iliadem,  opus  notissimum,  scripsit. 
Troia  tandem  per  insidias  capta,  Graeci  longo  bello  fessi 
domum  redire  maturaverunt.  Omnibus  igitur  ad  profec- 
tionem  paratis  naves  deduxerunt  et  tempestatem  idoneam 
nacti  magno  cum  gaudio  solverunt.  Erat  inter  primes 
Graecorum  Ulixes  quidam,  vir  summae  virtutis  ac  pru- 
dentiae,  quem  dicunt  nonnulli  dolum  istum  excogitasse, 
per  quem  Troiam  captam  esse  constat.  Hie  regnum 
Insulae  Ithacae  obtinuerat  et  paulo  antequam  cum 
reliquls  Graecis  ad  bellum  profectus  est  puellam  for- 
mosissimam  nomine  Penelopen  in  matrimonium  duxerat. 
Nunc  igitur  cum  iam  decem  annos  quasi  in  exsilio  cdn- 
sumpsisset,  magna  cupidine  patriae  et  uxoris  videndae 
ardebat.

139.     The  Lotus  Eaters. 

Postquam  tamen  pauca  millia  passuum  a  litore  Troiae 
progress!  sunt,  tanta  tempestas  subito  coorta  est,  ut  nulla 
navium  cursum  tenere  posset,  sed  aliae  alias  in  partes 
disicerentur.  Navis  autem,  qua  ipse  Ulixes  vehgbatur, 
vi  tempestatis  ad  meridiem  delata,  decimo  die  ad  litus 
Libyae  appulsa  est.  Ancorls  iactis,  Ulixes  constituit 
nonnullos  e  socils  in  terram  exponere,  qui  aquam  ad 
navem  referrent  et  qualis  esset  natura  eius  regionis  cog- 
noscerent.  Hi  igitur  e  navi  egress!  imperata  facere 
parabant.  Dum  tamen  fontem  quaerunt,  quibusdam  ex 
incolls  obviam  factl  ab  ils  hospitio  acceptl  sunt.  Accidit 
autem  ut  vlctus  eorum  hominum  e  miro  quodam  fructu 
quern  lotum  appellabant  paene  omnino  constaret.  Quem 
cum  Grace!  gustassent,  patriae  et  sociorum  statim  obliti 
se  confirmaverunt  semper  in  ea  terra  mansuros  ut  dulci 
illo  cibo  in  aeternum  vescerentur.

At  Ulixes,  cum  ab  bora  septima  ad  vesperum  exspec- 
tasset,  veritus  ne  socii  sui  in  perlculo  versarentur, 
nonnullos  e  reliqms  misit,  ut,  quae  causa  esset  morae, 
cognoscerent.  Hi  igitur  in  terram  expositi,  ad  vicum 
qui  non  longe  afuit  se  contulerunt :  quo  cum  venissent, 
socios  suos  quasi  vino  ebrios  reppererunt :  turn  ubi  causam 
veniendi  docuerunt,  iis  persuadere  conabantur,  ut  secum 
ad  navem  redirent.  Illi  tamen  resistere  ac  manu  se  de- 
fendere  coeperunt,  saepe  clamitantes  se  nunquam  ex  eo 
loco  abituros.  Quae  cum  ita  essent,  nuntii  re  infecta  ad 
Ulixem  redierunt.  His  rebus  cognitis,  Ulixes  ipse  cum

omnibus  qui  in  navi  relict!  sunt  ad  locum  venit ;  et  socios 
suos  frustra  hortatus  ut  sponte  sua  redirent,  manibus 
eorum  post  terga  vinctis,  invltos  ad  navem  reportavit. 
Turn  ancoris  sublatis  quam  celerrime  e  portu  solvit. 

141.  The  One-Eyed  Giant. 

Postridie  eius  die!  postquam  totam  noctem  remis  con- 
tenderant,  ad  terram  Ignotam  navem  appulerunt :  turn, 
quod  naturam  eius  regionis  Ignorabat,  ipse  Ulixes  cum 
duodecim  e  sociis  in  terram  egressus  locum  explorare 
constituit.  Paulum  a  litore  progress!  ad  antrum  ingens 
pervenerunt,  quod  habitari  senserunt :  eius  enim  intro- 
itum  arte  et  manibus  munitum  esse  animadverterunt. 
Mox,  etsi  intellegebant  se  non  sine  periculo  id  facturos, 
antrum  intraverunt :  quod  cum  fecissent,  magnam  copiam 
lactis  invenerunt  in  vasls  ingentibus  conditam.  Dum 
tamen  mirantur  quis  earn  sedem  incoleret,  sonitum  terri- 
bilem  audiverunt  et  oculis  ad  portam  versls  monstrum 
horribile  viderunt,  humana  quidem  specie  et  figura,  sed 
ingenti  magnitudine  corporis.  Cum  autem  animadver- 
tissent  gigantem  unum  tantum  oculum  habere  in  media 
fronte  positum,  intellexerunt  hunc  esse  unum  e  Cyclopi- 
bus,  de  quibus  famam  iam  acceperant. 

142.  The  Giant's  Supper. 

Cyclopes  autem  pastores  erant  quidam,  qui  insulam 
Siciliam  et  praecipue  montem  Aetnam  incolebant :  ibi 
enim  Volcanus,  praeses  fabrorum  et  ignis  repertor,  cuius 
servi  Cyclopes  erant,  officinam  suam  habebat. 

Graeci  igitur,  simul  ac  monstrum  viderunt,  terrore 
paene  exanimati  in  interiorem  partem  speluncae  refuge-

runt  et  se  ibi  celare  conabantur.  Polyphemus  autem,  ita 
enim  gigas  appellatus  est,  pecora  sua  in  speluncam  egit ; 
turn  cum  saxo  ingenti  portam  obstruxisset,  ignem  in 
medio  antro  accendit.  Hoc  facto,  oculo  omnia  perlustra- 
bat  et  cum  sensisset  homines  in  interiore  parte  antri 
celarl,  magna  voce  exclamavit.  "Qui  estis  homines? 
Mercatores  an  latrones  ? "  Turn  Ulixes  respondit  se 
neque  mercatores  esse  neque  praedandi  causa  venisse  : 
sed  e  Troia  redeuntes  vi  tempestatum  a  recto  cursu  de- 
pulsos  esse  :  oravit  etiam  ut  sibi  sine  iniuria  abire  liceret. 
Turn  Polyphemus  quaesivit  ubi  esset  navis  qua  vecti 
essent ;  Ulixes  autem,  cum  bene  intellegeret  sibi  maxime 
praecavendum  esse,  respondit  navem  suam  in  rupes 
coniectam  et  omnmo  perfractam  esse.  Polyphemus  autem 
nullo  dato  response  duo  e  sociis  manu  corripuit  et  mem- 
bris  eorum  divolsls  carnem  devorare  coepit.

Dum  haec  geruntur,  Graecorum  animos  tantus  terror 
occupavit,  ut  ne  vocem  quidem  edere  possent  sed  omni 
spe  salutis  deposita  mortem  praesentem  exspectarent. 
At  Polyphemus,  postquam  fames  hac  tarn  horribill  cena 
depulsa  est,  huml  prostratus  somnd  se  dedit.  Quod  cum 
vidisset  Ulixes,  tantam  occasionem  rei  bene  gerendae 
non  omittendam  arbitratus,  in  eo  erat  ut  pectus  monstrl 
gladio  transfigeret.  Cum  tamen  nihil  temere  agendum 
existimaret,  constituit  explorare,  antequam  hoc  faceret, 
qua  ratione  ex  antro  evadere  possent.  At  cum  saxum 
animadvertisset,  quo  introitus  obstructus  erat,  nihil  sibi 
profuturum  intellexit,  si  Polyphemum  interfecisset.

quidem  hominibus  amoveri  posset.  Quae  cum  ita  essent, 
Ulixes  hoc  destitit  conatu  et  ad  socios  rediit ;  qul,  cum 
intellexissent  quo  in  loco  res  essent,  nulla  spe  salutis 
oblata,  de  fortunis  suis  desperare  coeperunt.  Ille  tamen, 
ne  animos  demitterent,  vehementer  hortatus  est :  demon- 
stravit  se  iam  antea  e  multls  et  magms  perlculls  evasisse, 
neque  dubium  esse  quin  in  tanto  discrlmine  dii  auxilium 
adlaturi  essent. 

144.    A  Plan  for  Vengeance. 

Orta  luce,  Polyphemus  iam  e  somno  excitatus  idem 
quod  hesterno  die  fecit ;  correptis  enim  duobus  e  reliquis 
viris,  carnem  eorum  sine  mora  devoravit.  Turn,  cum 
saxum  amovisset,  ipse  cum  pecore  suo  ex  antro  pro- 
gressus  est  :  quod  cum  viderent  Graeci,  magnam  in  spem 
venerunt  se  post  paulum  evasuros.  Mox  tamen  ab  hac 
spe  repulsi  sunt :  nam  Polyphemus,  postquam  omnes 
oves  exierunt,  saxum  in  locum  restituit.  ReliquI  omni 
spe  salutis  deposita  lamentls  lacrimlsque  se  dediderunt : 
Ulixes  vero  qul,  ut  supra  dem5nstravimus,  vir  magnl 
fuit  consili,  etsi  bene  intellegebat  rem  in  discrlmine  esse, 
nondum  omnmo  desperabat.  Tandem  postquam  diu  toto 
animo  cogitavit,  hoc  cepit  consilium.  E  lignis  quae  in 
antro  reposita  sunt,  palum  magnum  delegit :  hunc  summa 
cum  diligentia  praeacutum  fecit ;  turn  postquam  sociis  quid 
fieri  vellet  ostendit,  reditum  Polyphemi  exspectabat. 

145.     A  Glass  Too  Much. 

Sub  vesperum  Polyphemus  ad  antrum  rediit  et  eodem 
modo  quo  antea  cenavit.  Turn  Ulixes  utrem  vlni  promp- 
sit,  quern  forte,  ut  in  talibus  rebus  accidere  consuevit, 
secum  attulerat,  et  postquam  magnam  crateram  vino 


ULYSSES.  117 

replevit,  gigantem  ad  bibendum  provocavit.  Polyphemus, 
qui  nunquam  antea  vinum  gustaverat,  totam  crateram 
statim  hausit ;  quod  cum  fecisset,  tantam  voluptatem  per- 
cepit  ut  iterum  et  tertium  crateram  repleri  iusserit.  Turn 
cum  quaesivisset  quo  nomine  Ulixes  appellaretur,  ille 
respondit  se  Neminem  appellari  :  quod  cum  audivisset, 
Polyphemus  ita  locutus  est,  "  Hanc  tibi  gratiam  pro  tanto 
beneficio  referam  ;  te  ultimum  omnium  devorabo."  His 
dictls,  cibo  vinoque  gravatus  recubuit  et  post  breve  tem- 
pus  somnS  oppressus  est.  Turn  Ulixes  sociis  convocatis, 
"Habemus,"  inquit,  "quampetiimusfacultatem  :  neigitur 
tantam  occasionem  rei  bene  gerendae  omittamus." 

146.     Nobody. 

Hac  oratione  habita,  postquam  extremum  palum  igne 
calefecit,  oculum  Polyphemi  dum  dormit  flagrante  ligno 
transfddit :  quo  facto,  omnes  in  diversas  speluncae  partes 
se  abdiderunt.  At  ille  subito  illo  dolore,  quod  necesse 
fuit,  e  somno  excitatus,  clamorem  terribilem  sustulit  et 
dum  per  speluncam  errat,  Ulixl  manum  inicere  conabatur  : 
cum  tamen  iam  omnino  caecus  esset,  nulld  modo  h5c 
efficere  potuit.  Interea  reliqui  Cycl5pes  clamore  audito 
undique  ad  speluncam  convenerunt  et  ad  introitum  ad- 
stantes,  quid  Polyphemus  ageret  quaeslverunt,  et  quam 
ob  causam  tantum  clamorem  sustulisset.  Ille  respondit 
se  graviter  volneratum  esse  et  magno  dolore  adfici :  cum 
tamen  ceteri  quaesivissent  quis  el  vim  intulisset,  respondit 
ille  Neminem  id  fecisse :  quibus  auditls,  unus  e  Cyclopibus, 
"At  si  nemo,"  inquit,  "te  volneravit,  haud  dubium  est 
quin  consilio  deorum,  quibus  resistere  nee  possumus  nee 
volumus,  hoc  supplicio  adficiaris."  His  dictls  abierunt 
Cyclopes  eum  in  insaniam  incidisse  arbitrati.

147.     Escape. 

At  Polyphemus,  ubi  socios  suos  abiisse  sensit,  furore 
atque  amentia  impulsus  Ulixem  iterum  quaerere  coepit  : 
tandem  cum  portam  invenisset,  saxum  quo  obstructa  erat 
amovit,  ut  pecus  ad  agros  exlret.  Turn  ipse  in  introitu 
sedit  et  ut  quaeque  ovis  ad  locum  venerat,  tergum  eius 
manibus  tractabat,  ne  viri  inter  oves  exire  possent.  Quod 
cum  animadvertisset  Ulixes,  hoc  iniit  consilium ;  bene 
enim  intellexit  omnem  spem  salutis  in  dolo  magis  quam 
in  virtute  pom.  Primum  tres  quas  vidit  pinguissimas 
ex  ovibus  delegit :  quibus  inter  se  viminibus  conexls, 
unum  sociSrum  ventribus  earum  ita  subiecit,  ut  omnino 
lateret :  deinde  oves  hominem  secum  ferentes  ad  portam 
egit.  Id  accidit  quod  fore  suspicatus  erat.  Polyphemus 
enim,  postquam  manus  tergls  earum  imposuit,  oves  prae- 
terire  passus  est.  Ulixes,  ubi  rem  ita  feliciter  evenisse 
vidit,  omnes  suos  socios  ex  ordine  eodem  modo  emisit; 
quo  facto,  ipse  ultimus  evasit. 

148.     Out  of  Danger. 

His  rebus  ita  confectis,  Ulixes  cum  sociis  maxime 
veritus  ne  Polyphemus  fraudem  sentiret,  quam  celerrime 
ad  litus  contendit :  quo  cum  venissent,  ab  iis  qui  navl 
praesidio  relictl  erant,  magna  cum  laetitia  accept!  sunt. 
Hi  enim,  cum  animis  anxils  iam  tres  dies  reditum  eorum 
in  horas  exspectavissent,  eos  in  periculum  grave  incidisse, 
id  quod  erat,  suspicatl,  ipsi  auxiliandi  causa  egredi  para- 
bant.  Turn  Ulixes  ndn  satis  tutum  esse  arbitratus  si  in 
eo  loco  maneret,  quam  celerrime  proficisci  constituit. 
lussit  igitur  omnes  navem  conscendere  et  ancorls  sublatis 


ULYSSES.  119 

paulum  a  litore  in  altum  provectus  est.  Turn  magna 
voce  exclamavit,  "Tu,  Polypheme,  qui  iura  hospiti 
spernis,  iustam  et  debitam  poenam  iinmanitatis  tuae 
solvistl."  Hac  voce  audita,  Polyphemus  ira  vehementer 
commotus  ad  mare  se  contulit  et  ubi  intellexit  navem 
paulum  a  litore  remotam  esse,  saxum  ingens  manu  cor- 
reptum  in  earn  partem  coniecit,  unde  vocem  venire  sensit. 
Graeci  autem,  etsl  minimum  afuit  quin  submergerentur, 
nullo  accepto  damno  cursum  tenuerunt. 

149.     The  Country  of  the  Winds. 

Pauca  millia  passuum  ab  eo  loco  progressus  Ulixes  ad 
insulam  quandam,  nomine  Aeoliam,  navem  appulit. 
Haec  patria  erat  Ventorum. 

"  Hie  vasto  rex  Aeolus  antro 
Luctantes  ventos  tempestatesque  sonoras 
Imperio  premit  ac  vinclis  et  carcere  frenat." 

Ibi  rex  ipse  Graecos  hospitio  accepit  atque  ils  persuasit 
ut  ad  recuperandas  vires  paucos  dies  in  ea  regione 
commorarentur.  Septimo  die  cum  socii  e  laboribus  se 
recepissent,  Ulixes,  ne  anni  tempore  a  navigatione  exclu- 
deretur,  sibi  sine  mora  proficiscendum  statuit.  Turn 
Aeolus,  qui  bene  sciebat  eum  maxime  cupidum  esse  patriae 
videndae,  Ulixl  iam  prefecture  magnum  dedit  saccum  e 
corio  confectum,  in  quo  ventos  omnes  praeter  unum  inclu- 
serat.  Zephyrum  tantum  praetermiserat,  quod  ilium  ventum 
ad  Ithacam  navigando  idoneum  esse  sciebat.  Ulixes  hoc 
donum  libenter  accepit  et  gratiis  pro  tanto  beneficio  relatis, 
saccum  ad  malum  ligavit.  Turn  omnibus  ad  profectionem 
paratis  irferidiano  fere  tempore  e  portu  solvit.

150.  The  Wind-Bag. 

Novem  dies  vento  secundissimo  cursum  tenuerunt : 
iamque  in  conspectum  patriae  suae  venerant,  cum  Ulixes 
lassitudine  confectus,  ipse  enim  manu  siia  gubernabat, 
ad  quietem  capiendam  recubuit.  At  socii,  qui  iamdudum 
mlrabantur  quid  in  illo  sacco  inclusum  esset,  cum  viderent 
ducem  somno  oppressum  esse,  tantam  occasionem  non 
omittendam  arbitrati  sunt :  credebant  enim  aurum  et 
argentum  ibi  celarl.  Itaque  spe  lucri  adducti  saccum 
sine  mora  solverunt :  quo  facts,  venti 

"  Velut  agmine  facto 
Qua  data  porta  ruunt  et  terras  turbine  perflant." 

Extemplo  tanta  tempestas  subito  coorta  est,  ut  ill!  cursum 
tenere  non  possent,  sed  in  eandem  partem  unde  erant 
profectl  referrentur.  Ulixes  e  somno  excitatus  quo  in 
loco  res  esset  statim  intellexit :  saccum  solutum  Ithacam 
post  tergum  rellctam  vidit :  turn  vero  maxima  indignatione 
exarsit  sociosque  obiurgabat,  quod  cupiditate  pecuniae 
adducti  spem  patriae  videndae  proiecissent. 

151.  Drawing  Lots. 

BrevI  intermisso  spatio,  Graeci  insulae  cuidam  appro- 
pinquaverunt  quam  Circe,  filia  Solis,  incolebat.  Ibi  cum 
navem  appulisset,  Ulixes  in  terram  frumentandl  causa 
egrediendum  esse  statuit ;  cognoverat  enim  frumentum 
quod  in  navi  haberent  iam  deficere.  Sociis  igitur  ad  se 
convocatis,  quo  in  loco  res  esset  et  quid  fieri  vellet, 
ostendit.  Cum  tamen  omnes  in  memoria  tenerent  quam 
crudeli  morte  occubuissent  ii  qui  nuper  in  patriam  Cyclo- 
pum  egressl  essent,  nemo  repertus  est  qui  hoc  negotium 


UL  YSSES.  121 

suscipere  vellet.  Quae  cum  ita  essent,  res  ad  controver- 
siam  deducta  est.  Tandem  Ulixes  consensu  omnium 
socios  in  duas  partes  divlsit,  quarum  alteri  Eurylochus, 
vir  summae  virtutis,  alteri  ipse  praeesset :  turn  hi  duo 
inter  se  sortlti  sunt,  uter  in  terram  egrederetur.  Hoc 
facto,  Eurylocho  sorte  evenit,  ut  cum  duobus  et  viginti 
sociis  rem  susciperet. 

152.     The  House  of  the  Enchantress. 

His  rebus  ita  constitutis,  il  qui  sorte  ducti  erant  in 
interiorem  partem  Insulae  prefect!  sunt.  Tantus  tamen 
timor  animos  eorum  occupaverat,  ut  nihil  dubitarent  quin 
morti  obviam  Irent :  vix  quidem  poterant  ii  qui  in  navi 
relict!  erant  lacrimas  tenere :  credebant  enim  se  socios 
suos  nunquam  iterum  visuros.  Illi  autem  aliquantum 
itineris  progress!  ad  villam  quandam  pervenerunt,  summa 
magnificentia  aedificatam  :  cuius  ad  ostium  cum  adiissent, 
carmen  dulcissimum  audiverunt.  Tanta  autem  fuit  eius 
vocis  dulcedo,  ut  nullo  modo  retinerl  possent  quin  ianuam 
pulsarent.  Hoc  facto,  ipsa  Circe  foras  exiit  et  summa 
cum  benignitate  omnes  in  hospitium  invitavit.  Eurylochus 
insidias  comparari  suspicatus  foris  exspectare  constituit : 
at  reliqui  rei  novitate  adducti  intraverunt.  Convivium 
magnificum  invenerunt  omnibus  rebus  Instructum  ;  et  iussu 
dominae  libentissime  accubuerunt.  At  Circe  vinum  quod 
servl  apposuerunt  medicamento  quodam  miscuerat :  quod 
cum  illi  bibissent,  gravi  sopore  subito  oppress!  sunt. 

153.     Men  Changed  to  Pigs. 

Turn  Circe,  quae  artis  magicae  summam  scientiam 
habebat,  baculo  aureo  quod  gerebat  capita  eorum  tetigit : 


122  UL  YSSES. 

quo  facto,  omnes  in  porcos  subito  conversl  sunt.  Interea 
Eurylochus  ignarus  quid  in  aedibus  ageretur  ad  ostium 
sedebat ;  postquam  tamen  ad  solis  occasum  anxio  animo 
et  sollicito  exspectaverat,  solus  ad  navem  regredi  consti- 
tuit.  E6  cum  venisset,  anxietate  ac  timore  ita  perturbatus 
fuit  ut,  quae  vidisset,  vix  lucide  narrare  posset.  At 
Ulixes  satis  intellexit  socios  suos  in  periculo  versari,  et 
gladio  correpto  Eurylocho  imperavit,  ut  sine  mora  viam 
ad  istam  domum  monstraret.  Ille  tamen  multis  cum 
lacrimis  Ulixem  complexus  obsecrare  coepit,  ne  in  tantum 
periculum  se  committeret :  Si  quid  gravius  el  accidisset, 
omnium  salutem  in  summo  discrlmine  futuram.  Ulixes 
autem  respondit  se  neminem  invltum  secum  adducturum  : 
el  licere,  si  mallet,  in  navi  manere  :  se  ipsum  sine  ullo 
auxilio  rem  suscepturum.  Hoc  cum  magna  voce  dixisset, 
e  navi  desiluit  et  nullo  sequente  solus  in  viam  se  dedit. 

154.     The  Counter  Charm. 

Aliquantum  itineris  progressus  ad  villam  magnificam 
pervenit,  quam  cum  oculls  perlustrasset,  statim  intrare 
statuit :  intellexit  enim  hanc  esse  eandem  de  qua  Eury- 
lochus mentionem  fecisset.  At  cum  in  eo  esset  ut  limen 
transiret,  subito  obviam  ei  stetit  adulescens  forma  pul- 
cherrima,  aureum  baculum  manu  gerens.  Hie  Ulixem 
iam  domum  intrantem  manu  corripuit  et,  "  Qu5  ruis  ?  " 
inquit,  "  Nonne  scis  hanc  esse  Circes  domum  ?  Hie 
inclusi  sunt  amici  tui,  ex  humana  specie  in  porcos  con- 
versi.  Num  vis  ipse  in  eandem  calamitatem  venire  ?  " 
Ulixes  simul  ac  vocem  audivit  deum  Mercurium  agnovit  : 
nullis  tamen  precibus  ab  institute  consilio  deterreri  potuit; 
quod  cum  Mercurius  sensisset,  herbam  quandam  ei  dedit, 


UL  YSSES.  123 

quam  contra  carmina  maxima  valere  dicebat.  "  Hanc 
cape,"  inquit,  "  et  ubi  Circe  te  baculo  tetigerit,  tu,  stricto 
gladio,  impetum  in  earn  vide  ut  facias."  His  dictis 

Mercurius 

"  Mortales  visus  medio  sermone  reliquit, 
Et  procul  in  tenuem  ex  oculis  evanuit  auram." 

155.     The  Enchantress  Foiled. 

Brevi  intermisso  spatio,  Ulixes  ad  omnia  pericula  sub- 
eunda  paratus  ostium  pulsavit  et  foribus  patefactis  ab  ipsa 
Circe  benigne  exceptus  est.  Omnia  eodem  modo  atque 
antea  facta  sunt.  Cenam  magnifice  Instructam  vidit  et 
accumbere  iussus  est.  Mox,  ubi  fames  cibo  depulsa  est, 
Circe  poculum  aureum  vino  repletum  Ulixi  dedit.  Ille, 
etsi  suspicatus  est  venenum  sibi  paratum  esse,  poculum 
exhausit:  quo  facto,  Circe,  postquam  caput  eius  baculo 
tetigit,  ea  verba  locuta  est  quibus  socios  eius  antea  in 
porcos  converterat.  Res  tamen  omnino  aliter  evenit 
atque  ilia  speraverat.  Tanta  enim  vis  erat  eius  herbae 
quam  dederat  Mercurius,  ut  neque  venenum  neque  verba 
quidquam  efficere  possent.  Ulixes  autem,  sicut  iusserat 
Mercurius,  gladi5  stricto  impetum  in  earn  fecit  et  mortem 
minitabatur.  Turn  Circe,  cum  sensisset  artem  suam  nihil 
valere,  multis  cum  lacrimis  eum  obsecrare  coepit,  ne 
vitam  adimeret. 

156.     Pigs  Changed  to  Men. 

Ulixes  autem  ubi  sensit  earn  timore  perterritam  esse, 
postulavit  ut  socios  sine  mora  in  humanam  speciem  redu- 
ceret,  certior  enim  factus  erat  a  deo  Mercuric  eos  in 
porcos  converses  esse  :  nisi  id  factum  esset,  ostendit  se 


124  UL  YSSES. 

debitas  poenas  sumpturum.  At  Circe  his  rebus  graviter 
commota  ad  pedes  eius  se  proiecit  et  multls  cum  lacrimis 
iureiurando  confirmavit  se,  quae  ille  imperasset,  omnia 
facturam  :  turn  porcos  in  atrium  immitti  iussit.  111!  dato 
slgno  inruerunt  et  cum  ducem  suum  agnovissent,  magno 
dolore  adfecti  sunt,  quod  nullo  modo  potuerunt  eum  de 
rebus  suis  certiorem  facere.  Circe  tamen  unguento 
quodam  corpora  eorum  unxit ;  quo  facto,  omnes  post  breve 
tempus  in  speciem  humanam  redditi  sunt.  Magno  cum 
gaudio  Ulixes  amicos  agnovit  et  nuntium  ad  litus  mlsit, 
qui  reliquis  Graecis  socios  receptos  esse  diceret.  111! 
autem  his  rebus  cognitis  statim  ad  domum  Circaeam  se 
contulerunt;  qu5  cum  venissent,  omnes  universl  laetitiae 
se  dediderunt. 

157.     Afloat  Again. 

Postrldie  eius  die!  Ulixes  in  animo  habebat  ex  Insula 
quam  celerrime  discedere :  Circe  tamen,  cum  haec  cog- 
ndvisset,  ex  odio  ad  amorem  conversa  omnibus  precibus 
eum  orare  et  obtestari  coepit,  ut  paucos  dies  apud  se 
moraretur :  et  hoc  tandem  impetrato  tanta  beneficia  in 
eum  contulit  ut  facile  el  persuasum  sit  ut  diutius  maneret. 
Postquam  tamen  totum  annum  apud  Circen  consump- 
serat,  Ulixes  magno  deslderio  patriae  suae  videndae  motus 
est.  Sociis  igitur  ad  se  convocatis,  quid  in  animo  haberet 
ostendit.  Ubi  tamen  ad  litus  descendit,  navem  suam 
tempestatibus  ita  adflictam  invenit,  ut  ad  navigandum 
paene  inutilis  esset.  Hac  re  cognita,  omnia  quae  ad' 
naves  reficiendas  usui  sunt  compararl  iussit:  qua  in  re 
tan  tarn  diligentiam  omnes  praebebant,  ut  ante  tertium 
diem  opus  confecerint.  At  Circe,  ubi  vidit  omnia  ad 
profectionem  parata  esse,  rem  aegre  ferebat  et  Ulixem 


UL  YSSES.  125 

vehementer  obsecrabat,  ut  eo  consllio  desisteret.  Ille 
tamen,  ne  anni  tempore  a  navigatione  excluderetur,  matu- 
randum  sibi  existimavit  et  tempestatem  idoneam  nactus 
navem  solvit.  Multa  quidem  perlcula  Ulixi  subeunda 
erant  antequam  in  patriam  suam  perveniret :  quae  tamen 
in  hoc  loco  longum  est  perscribefe.

NOTES.  139 

123.  1.  8.  doctus  est :  *>.,  Jason. 

1.  9.  sublatis  ancoris  :  weighing  anchor.  Read  the  following 
note  on  the  Ablative  Absolute  : 

(1)  A  very  common  construction  in  Latin  is  that  of 

a  noun  and  a  participle  in  the  ablative,  to  ex- 
press the  time,  cause,  or  some  other  circum- 
stance of  an  action.  The  words  in  the  ablative 
are  cut  off  grammatically  from  the  rest  of  the 
sentence,  and  hence  this  construction  is  called 
the  ablative  absolute. 

Consul,  pace  facta,  revertit :   the  consttl, 
peace  having  been  made,  returned. 

(2)  It  is  seldom  best  to  render  the  ablative  absolute 

literally.  Thus  instead  of  the  above,  we  may 
render 

1.  The  consttl,  after  making  peace,  returned. 

2.  The  consul,  when  peace  had  been  made, 

returned. 

3.  77/6'  consul,  because  peace  had  been  made, 

returned. 

4.  The  consul  made  peace  and  returned. 

(3)  Sometimes  instead  of  a  noun  and  a  participle  in 

the  ablative  we  have 

1.  Two  nouns. 

2.  A  pronoun  and  a  participle. 

3.  A  noun  and  an  adjective. 

1.  14.  antequam  .  .  .  concurrerent :  the  imperfect  and  pluper- 
fect tenses  are  usually  in  the  subjunctive  after  ante- 
quam and  priusquam,  but  the  subjunctive  is  generally 
to  be  rendered  as  if  it  were  indicative. 

124.  1.  4.  contulerunt :  from  confero. 

7.  negabat  .  .  .  esse:  cf.  120,  1.  12,  and  note. 

9.  traditurum :  esse  omitted,  as  often  with  forms  made  up 

of  a  participle  and  esse.
